Right - so why can't we have this for the DOM? Much of the power of QML could work wonders for that, for example setting anchor points based on other elements.

I think the problem is that in many cases it needs either weird css hacks or injecting dynamic values via js. It'd be nice to have a web layout tool that ties it all together and lets the designer use familiar tools like pivot, anchor, align, etc. - even if it exports some proprietary combo like react + styled components. No doubt that's what FramerX and friends are after... so I guess there's progress, but it feels like the web just needs an overall rewrite to get out of the legacy cruft that came along with making static pages dynamic.
