This seems to be a new iteration of what IMO made frontend work somewhat painful for almost the entire time I've been building software. It used to take the form that people did something with html that it wasn't designed to do. That thing looked cool and so everyone wanted it. This lead to pain and the perception that the tool is inadequate. So we eventually got CSS. And it continued there. Someone figured out a way to get cool dropshadows and rounded corners. These were cumbersome to implement. And so on.
