Why don't more developers use the web platform?

Original: Why don't more developers “use the platform”?

Nolan Lawson has published an article asking why fewer developers build directly on browser-native capabilities instead of relying on frameworks and tooling. The piece argues that the web platform offers much of what libraries add, and examines why many developers still default to heavier stacks. Readers are debating the trade-offs between simplicity, compatibility, and developer experience.

Why now: It taps into an ongoing debate in web development over framework complexity versus native browser features.
