Here's the thing. You can do your best to spread how things ought to be done and what people should be doing. The majority of developers are not going to be vigilant, nor are they going to read these, nor does it occur to them that they're being suffering from its complexity. In a way it's similar to git - people use git because other people use git. It lets you get into difficult situations. The difference is that git also lets you get out quickly. Web codebases are not so forgiving, a lot of mistakes can be forever as it's costly to unwind.
I've encountered this a few times before realizing we were doing a lot better with Angular. It's not as popular, and its complexity does not grow as fast. Similarly for Vue as the author noted.

I certainly hope so, but I'm not seeing it. The industry seems to prefer the most complicated solution in different areas. k8s has won the orchestration mindshare and demonstrates a similar pattern of complexity and maintenance.
