I don't think you're being fair. I certanly agree that a lot of things that should be simple are over-engineered simply for the sake of it, but there are a lot of things that are made possible by modern frameworks. I'm really not trying to plug our thing now, but if you look at this [1], a short tech demo of the platform we're building, there's no way it could have been built without modern frameworks with the amount of people we're building this [1] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SkjMUY_cAmw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SkjMUY_cAmw

That looks pretty simple in terms of UI... There certainly are some types of apps that are mind-bogglingly complex (e.g. press play and scroll around on https://kepler.gl/demo/nyctrips https://kepler.gl/demo/nyctrips for one vivid example) but ironically, the real heavy lifting is mostly done with specialized libraries and super-close-to-the-metal code (GSLS), whereas the "modern" stack only powers the "simple" boxy UI glue stuff.
