You mention YAGNI, but I think the bigger blocker is "Don't reinvent the wheel" - which I think is the most misunderstood bit of programming advice out there. In my SvelteKit app, I am not using a "UI Framework" that provides components to me. I don't need to. Svelte is simple enough that I can build almost anything myself. I've looked at Skeleton's source code, and their components on average are not better than versions I have rolled myself. There are a few cases where it's better to use a framework. Sliders, for instance, have a lot of edge cases. So I use Swiper for carousels. But even then, I could build a working basic slider (that doesn't address the numerous edge cases) myself in an hour. The other case is Headless UI but even there, I disagree with how he implemented some things and it's possible to roll your own Svelte Headless UI just from Tailwind's source.

So it pushes people with limited backend experience into the arms of Supabase, Pocketbase, Whateverbase and companies like Netlify and Vercel. And then there's the rise of stuff like [Auth.js](https://authjs.dev/)
