I think web components were almost a good "built-in" way of doing React/Vue. Where it lost me was the Shadow DOM. I get that it's supposed to encapsulate the contents of a component and restrict JS/CSS to itself, but it's overkill IMO. It's basically like having a bunch of iframes and makes it much harder to query things, which is very much unlike the rest of the DOM. I don't need guard rails to tell me how to do encapsulation.
