This is sort of an expected side effect of recreating nearly-identical JS frameworks every couple months, no?

Considering you have so few language options for frontend webapp development (excluding wasm and other such options), this really isn't a surprise to have a handful of options either. I can name more python server frameworks that are used in earnest than I can name frontend frameworks.
Part of the difference for frontend frameworks is that there's so much variety possible. Nearly every server framework has the same general design and API - some kind of routing, route handler definitions, and some additional niceties like with, db connection handling, sessions etc. I can't conceive of any other design that would work better or even be sensible.
While components have become the norm in front-end, there's still plenty of room for different architecture and actual API to use and define components, and manage state. That's where the fun of writing them comes in, and where there is still likely a better react or vue lurking in the shadows or yet to be created.
What I intended with my comment was to point out that the idea of new frameworks being created every week is a bit of an exaggeration and that it being the reason frontend development is fragmented is just totally incorrect.
React or Vue on their own with a sprinkling of helpful utility libraries will get most projects 99% of the way there though, and often times that _is_ simpler than trying to put together your own system for server side rendered pages and template composition.
Of course, if you're making a blog, you don't need any of this, but for _web applications_, I don't think I'd reach for SSR anymore.
