A late response, but I can add a bit more motivation. Without lit-html Starboard would be nowhere near as flexible or elegant. Starboard has to be completely customizable at runtime, that would probably be difficult to achieve with anything that has a build step, with lit-html it's "just Javascript" all the way down. If you usually use a framework like React, Vue or Svelte it is still worth trying out lit-html, they are not mutually exclusive, it's simple to learn and deceptively powerful. It's great to have it on your toolbelt.
