I agree with the points here.
I came from backend development, writing mostly in C++ and Python for most of my career. I've always found modern JavaScript frameworks so difficult to reason about because it feels like I'm always working through nine layers of abstraction.
Last year, I read Julia Evans's article "A little bit of plain Javascript can do a lot," and it inspired me to try to push regular JS as far as it would go in my next project. It's now 8 months later, I have thousands of users, and I'm still using plain JavaScript.[1] No babel/webpack or anything. I do use Flask to aggregate source files together, but I purposely avoid any cleverness there. Overall, I find the code much easier to debug the code than any of my other web apps.
One nice advantage of using only vanilla JS is that it's easier to find contributors. If you're a React project, then only React developers can contribute. But if you're a vanilla JS project, you're not bound to developers of any particular religion. Vue, React, Angular, Svelte developers can all work in a vanilla JS codebase.

Not only is it free OOTB, but iirc you can't turn it off[1]. So OP might be using it unknowingly. 0 config means just that, for better and worse.
