"Frontend builds are basically a requirement for any application with a UI" I disagree with this premise. Dynamic languages don't have builds either.

  Since JS people target multiple browser versions and vendors, building is basically a requirement.

    Builds are absolutely not a requirement for targeting multiple browser versions and vendors.

      It's the other way around. Having multiple targets increases the motivation to use build systems.

        Why would that be the case?
