The DX shift no one noticed: Web interoperability (blog.logrocket.com)

These days, developer experience (DX) is often the strongest case for using JavaScript frameworks. The idea is simple: frameworks improve DX with abstractions and tooling that cut boilerplate and help developers move faster. The tradeoff is bloat, larger bundles, slower load times, and a hit to user experience (UX).

But does it have to work like that? Do you always have to trade UX for DX? And are frameworks really the only path to a good developer experience?

Correct. The degree that a native app could invade your privacy on the desktop is insane. For mobile, thanks to sandboxing it has a much smaller surface but still annoying nonetheless when an app could just be a web. Especially if all they do is just a glorified form filing app.
