1. Write lots of code to deal with the complicated problems
2. Use a framework that abstracts around these problems and solves some of them for you
3. Cut features from your app
This framework helps you with approach 2. If you don't want to use it, you are welcome to use approaches 1 or 3.
Your CRUD app could be terrible in pure HTML and amazing in Svelte. Or vice versa. But a competent engineer will make a better version with the more modern tech.
Your OS GUI is an abstraction on an abstraction, it's UI kit is on top of that, the browser is on top of that, React on top of that...
People always draw the ideal line exactly at where they learned things / stopped learning things.
