that's true[1] but there is also the programmer dictum "You Aren't Gonna Need It" (YAGNI)[2]
it very much depends on the type of app you are building, but I think many web applications could at least start with htmx and then, when more complex user interactions present themselves, use an island of interactivity approach that localizes the complexity.
this keeps overall system complexity as low as possible for as long as possible, and you may never need to go beyond htmx, which can lead to a much less complicated codebase [3]
