true, but HTML-only websites are often pretty clunky
infuriatingly, if HTML had just a bit more oomph, we could make a lot better websites with it, but they haven't been moving HTML forward as a hypermedia for decades now (see https://htmx.org for what I mean, they could implement this concept in the browser in a week, and it would change web development dramatically)
but, still, there are some really obvious and simple things that could be done to make HTML much more compelling (maybe let's start by making PUT, PATCH and DELETE available in HTML!)

the upcoming view transitions API will help:
