Hyperscript Tagged Markup: JSX alternative using standard tagged templates, with compiler support.
No one blocked it. If you're referring to HTML Imports, the problem with them is that they didn't integrate with JS modules. There's a new HTML modules proposal [1], and with JS import assertions and CSS and JSON modules landing [2], HTML modules are probably not far behind.

I read an article about it that i liked a lot.

I even tried to build a library around this, but still don’t know how to finish it hahaha.

tags are so incredibly useful for keeping your JS clean when you're not able to have something more reactive around for some reason.
I've recently used that on an interview project I did (https://github.com/pretzelhands/ubiquitous-sniffle) and it surprisingly takes you quite far with very little effort.
The only major annoyance is really manually keeping track of the elements in the DOM and .innerText and .innerHTML-ing everything that needs a dynamic value. But it's manageable if you keep it confined.
You can also use preact without a build step via htm
