JS has been in front-line for these functionalty, and HTML has been dog-slow to catch up with slow standardization (not based on usage more academical) and recommendations.
HTML can do that. yes. but adoption? welp, I don't really care nor will I use it unless I have to. I will use whatever was available in practice and continue to use them.
Odd to both complain about adoption and out yourself as someone unwilling to move to a better solution because it’s less familiar. What do you expect the answer to be here?
I think you can measure “better” if you’re specific. I’m saying better for user experience. You are fine foregoing that if your development experience is better.

Be gone, trollbot, if you ain't have anything better to say
"Better" in my case is being able to move fast by implementing quickly, test fast, and move on with my tasks.
HTML might be "better" in terms of standards, but if nobody follows it, what good is it?
