Since 5 years everybody says Jquery us no longer necessary. But really baisc function like this take a long time for replacing Jquery

jQuery does not sanitize HTML. This is why jQuery is no longer necessary, even if people think it is.

There is the jquery bashing again. let sanitizedHTML = $('<div>').text(unsanitizedHTML).html();

You can 100% do that same thing without jQuery. It's not even complicated.

And that is not what the new .setHTML() does.
