For iOS that is true. On Android Google still runs their monopoly. Except for Firefox, all major browsers are based on Chrome

That's the argument for all those frameworks.

Not necessarily reinvent the wheel, but not build the same glass buildings all across the world either. Your analogy is not that far off. Real world architecture is quite the same.

I am sure, there'll be quite a few who'd argue that this is necessary complexity, but my take on this definitely is the latter - artificially inflated

But it's not only the web. Same happened to Java in the 2000s and is currently happening to Android. Any mainstream Java job is more configuration of Spring containers with a bit of code glue sprinkled in-between than "proper programming". As for Android, just follow a couple of Android forums where plenty of people complain about such complexity and frameworks changing "by the minute"

Aritifically inflated :)

Which begs the question if we should not use Linux, considering the number of US contributions and the US being involved in countless illegal wars.

The whole thing is absurd. Clownworld!

The title is clickbait. If anyone forced here anything, then it was not IE but - once again - webmasters who don't deserve that "title" ;)
