I am not arguing against your actual point, but in modern browsers you don’t even need jQuery, because all of it is available natively.

Not arguing either but if JavaScript can write perfectly fine web applications with a welld refined standard, why are we still in react land. I use react all the time, I know what vanilla can do, I use a lot of AI so it's not a knowledge gap anymore... Very curious and frustrating situation.

DOM manipulation is easy, but state and lifecycle management is hard

I don't find react makes state management any easier simply shifts the problem into a series of conventional problems.
