At first glance, I don't understand the design choice of appending HTML templates to the python controller files. Seems like a lot of complexity just to remove a template render call. What am I missing?

It's in sync with the Locality of Behavior [0] principle that htmx follows.

It's inspired by Astro Pages [1] which are the same thing in the javascript world. I really liked the developer experience working with them.
