The whole DOM and script languages in general are ugly? Skip it all and use only WebGL and Wasm.

Congratulations, now your app is inaccessible to screenreaders and doesn’t lay out properly on half the devices of the internet.

On every platform you have to use the native controls to build a good experience, but the web’s problem is that the native controls are the worst of every app ui platform ever made, so we get layer after layer of framework crud trying to hide the fact that html and css are almost completely unsuited for building app ui. I wish they had been a little more broken, because then someone would have had the sense to replace them.

For most cases, it is quite easy, to provide a simple HTML fallback for that. But yes, it is an issue. But if you do program it right, then it does lay out exactly and perfect on EVERY device, like you intented. (as long as it supports webgl)
