If you think about the front end ecosystem, in an economics sense, you will notice these distinct players : browsers, JS libraries/frameworks, apps/websites consuming these to provide solutions for the end user and the web devs.
There is tremendous competition at all levels.
Browsers (Chrome, Safari, Firefox) are competing each other fiercely and provide rapid advancements in capabilities.
Libraries/frameworks (Angular, React, Vue, D3, and a bazillion others) are competing more fiercely for a stronger hold on the market.
Website owners compete harder and want the "latest" tech to grace their product offerings creating great demand for the latest tech.
Web devs compete even more fiercely to stay relevant by picking the latest tech in the market.
Add to this advanced browser capabilities, increased computing power and fragmented screen sizes (phones, desktops, laptops, tablets) with faster data speeds and you have a bustling ecosystem that changes more rapidly than any player can keep up with.
