You are preaching to the choir here mate. Keep in mind we have over 60 developers, and over 100 single page applications under development/support.

The frameworks we are using have been in use here since 2014 (pre-dating the DesignSystem). It is not an easy matter to switch over to these components, especially considering the only framework supported is React.

As far as unnecessary public expenditure... I could probably write 1000 pages on it and not make a dent.
