You know something has to perform low level DOM operations, right?

  Sure, but I was under impression that it's best left to the C++ the browsers are written in?

    The browsers written in C++ are not doing DOM manipulation, they're providing the DOM abstraction itself.

      Using innerHTML kind of is leaving the DOM manipulation to the C++ the browsers are written in!

        Using innerHTML is leaving the DOM manipulation to the C++ the browsers are written in. Using createElement is leaving the DOM manipulation to the C++ the browsers are written in. Using HTML is leaving the DOM manipulation to the C++ the browsers are written in. Using your framework (react/angular/etc) is leaving the part of the framework thats using innerHTML/createElement to leave the DOM manipulation to the C++ the browsers are written in. Whichever path you take, the browser must do some DOM manipulation to render anything.. because that is what browsers are built to do.
