> "Experimenting" with no-build web apps makes it sound like web apps require build steps by default. The opposite is true. It's not that it's required per se, just that when it seems like most people use applications with a build step, experimenting is the right word to use when going the other way, even if it is the default. It might even be the case that the author hasn't made apps without a build step so again in their case, they indeed are experimenting with it, even if to others it doesn't seem like an experiment. In any case, as with any experiment, they are learning something new.
