Is this really true? Genuine question, I'm not being snarky. When I think about common complaints about web dev, they all seem to be caused by something else. JS's non-existent standard library and mournfully inconsistent semantics were caused by Brendan Eich writing it in a weekend and never getting a chance to fix it because it got standardized too quickly. Framework churn is caused by the fact that the web browser and all its primitives were unlike any platform that came before it and we didn't (and still don't) know what the right abstractions are even for any given kind of web app. UI design to a good extent is just inherently hard and requires accounting for many details that HTML and CSS must therefore expose to you, etc.
