This is almost always because of using a string-based templating system. If you use a language-embedded HTML generation library, it represents HTML fragments as first-class values in your language, and you can compose them together in flexible ways. This makes out-of-band swaps very simple.
HTMX is great, Hypermedia and HATEOAS are great, HTML-string-templates are not great.
For some reason they are still popular.

Very easy to understand, no useEffect footguns, great composability.
