These two are contradictory statements.

1. lit is both newer than React, and started as a fully backwards incompatible alternative to Polymer

2. Despite being acrively promoted as "not a framework just a lib" it's rapidly sucking in all the features from "fast moving js": from custom proprietary syntax incompatible with anything to contexts, a compiler, "rules of hooks" (aka custom per-dieective rules) etc.

Again, this is exactly the "fast js churn" you're talking about.

Lit is fully compatible with Polymer (and any other web components).
The output of lit is.

Not lit.

Stop pretending this isn't the case

I can't even tell what you're arguing.

Lit helps you write web components.

Those web components are interoperable with other web components made with Polymer, Stencil, FAST, etc...
