Just imagine if instead of sinking hundreds of millions of dollars into poorly specced APIs with horrible usability like service workers[1] browser devs would instead implement something that apps actually need: proper UI controls and components.
I keep saying: there's a reason all the CSS and UI frameworks on the web re-implement the same paltry dozen of the most primitive components and rarely if ever tackle anything complex.
https://open-ui.org https://open-ui.org is too little too late.

React users would love to not have to npm install a date picker and bloat their bundles! If they need to "use the platform" then why doesn't that platform ship the features they actually ask for? Instead of a carousel they get an aside. Features like service workers are touted as a solution to many problems in the web, but their ergonomics are so under-designed that people actually have to change domains to bust the cache from a broken build (I’m not making this up).
