I’d remove the “need” to bring your own everything when building websites/webapps by dramatically expanding the standard library available to web developers.
Sites/app sizes would largely return to being measured in kilobytes thanks to a wide array of standard widgets that look decent out of the box (e.g. something like Bootstrap’s default style) and are built to be easily customized. This would be furthered by a built in React analogue that can be opted into on a per-element basis which enables engine level optimizations that third party libraries couldn’t dream of.
This de-emphasis on third party dependencies would also help return web authorship to the realm of mere mortals, with no tools beyond a text editor being required to built a performant, aesthetically attractive site/app that meets modern expectations.
