To pull it back a bit from the deep end: another possibility besides intentional vendor lock-in is that AngularJs dates back to an initial public launch of 2009 (and was likely older than that in the bowels of Google's infrastructure), while the frameworks that have been mentioned in this thread are younger (react: 2013, boostrap: 2011). It's quite possible that angular is simply over-engineered to solve the problems it's targeted to solve and other, younger frameworks have second-mover advantage on architecture and design (while angular has first-mover advantages of "Older, therefore more well-understood" and "wide adoption base").
COM wasn't the last word on binary cross-communication either; for various reasons I see that sort of thing done a lot more often these days via building a RESTful HTTP service, even when the intent is localhost-only communication.
