I read this article and thought YEAH!! Then noticed once I got to the comments that it's from 2016. Which is really depressing because all of the problems mentioned by the author have gotten worse, not better in the last few years. Ironically, the new frontend Twitter is currently beta testing is built using React Native > Web tooling which is laughably non-semantic in the extreme.
I don't know what the ultimate answer is to this, expect that perhaps standards-based Web Components can get good enough that devs will rely more on those approaches than ginormous JS frameworks that take over everything. In the meantime, the web is not a friendly place for old-school devs lacking a JS-ALL-THE-THINGS! mindset (like me!).
