I think you are underestimating how bad rest of the world had it during those years. UK for example was still rationing food.

> What's wrong with building simple web applications that get things done and don't require build tools, secondary (or tertiary) languages or meta-languages (like SCSS, ERB, JSX, Jade, etc)?

Successful projects have a tendency to stop being simple as time goes by. Users start asking for more features, scaling issues crop up, etc, etc.

I wonder if something is getting lost in translation. With no particular order:

Hearing the word ideation would cause an allergic in people who are sensitive against Americanisms.

Multiple layers of creolization is the most likely explanation of common grammatic features and distinct vocabularies.

There's a language called Gagauz, spoken in Moldova. It has a Turkic vocabulary and Indo-European grammar. It was, in its infancy, likely to be a Romanian substrate, Cuman superstrate creole.

An Proto Altaic substrate with various superstrates must have played out quite a few times.

I wouldn't be surprised if most of those states have laws for unfair dismissal as well. Companies develop an internal process to cover their backs for such eventualities. Running that process to the end is the costly bit.

I suspect, genarating components from designs is a pain point for narrow subsection of companies which use React. I also suspect those which have this problem are not in a place to pay. Startups with limited runways, agencies with shoestring budgets are not the most lucrative.

So the Catholic-Orthodox secterianism is due to Islamist expansion. Gotcha.

Are you maybe thinking about cranksets? All it takes to remove a pedal from the crank is an adjustable spanner.
