Still not sure what you are attacking - is it just custom-elements or does that include js modules etc?

We're in the discussion under an article about web components. So, web components. Which I literally explicitly called out in my comment.

Hmm...

So what do you think web components are then?

There was an initial proposal called web components that comprised a whole slew of enabling technologies - like custom elements, like modules, templates etc. Some of the proposals never got implemented.

The closest single thing to web components is custom-elements ( with optional shadow dom and optional slots ).

So is that what you are objecting to?
