Just like what you've done with Selenium, such a wrapper could be written for Playwright (I think that's what most developers end up doing anyways, just in a more domain-specific manner)
It is a useful tool, similar to others that accomplish the same task (WATIR and Capybara in Ruby, for example). My point was that the comparison of a wrapper to an underlying library is a bit apples to oranges, as a similar wrapper could be written for Playwright as well. I haven't looked at the code, but I assume Helium's API could be used to support Playwright (which itself was an evolution of Puppeteer).
