Yeah, CRUD is a solved problem but you still have to do it.
Mapping state to the database is to web dev what applying paint to the canvas is to painting. It’s how you do it that counts. Saying otherwise is overly reductionist.
Frameworks exist that abstract CRUD away. But you end up sacrificing UX and / or flexibility.

Too low and you'll spend most of your time maintaining ugly boilerplate. One of the many reasons why CRUD is way harder than its reputation credits it with.
