Maybe because there is no need to evolve there?

I mean, you can see clearly why we came from jQuery, to AngularJs, then Angular/React/Vue, there was a need.

This constant need to evolve is the exact definition of immaturity, for HTML/CSS/JS front-end.

I'm not a mobile dev, but I'm pretty sure when you make the front-end in an iOS app, you don't need to learn 3 languages + 2 frameworks + tooling to transpile + type checker + webpack...

Web front-end is completely broken because the foundation (HTML/JS/CSS) is not the right tool for the need.

Now that is a real problem, and it will not be fixed soon.

It is easy to a single company define how they want their platform to be, like iOS, but browsers are a different beast, as every change need to be agreed between several major companies.
