Apparently we're going through a stage right now when the loud voices have decided everything belongs in the HTML. Tailwind and HTMX are both frameworks trying to stuff everything in the HTML, which works great in simple demos and becomes hilarious in any more complicated real-world project.
The naive and inexperienced will follow those trends, and will generate countless "why I stopped using..." and "... considered harmful" blog posts 1-2 years from now, when frustrated, they'll flip on their God and declare them Satan.
Those who have been through these cycles before will smile, shake their head and know there's nothing that can be said to dissuade them, until they learn painfully from their own experience. And the wheel keeps turning.
For the record, behavior doesn't "belong" anywhere. The optimal solution varies based on the type of project and content. Considering the historical baggage of HTML and how specific it is to the browser, while many apps are multiplatform these days, I could easily argue HTML is the worst place to put your behavior.
