>> WebComponents used "in full" (i.e. dynamically) inherently creates complex web page structures

That ship sailed a very long time ago.

WebComponents is dead simple compared to React, TypeScript, WebPack and all the complex tooling which developers are essentially forced to use these days due to a lack of alternatives.

The alternatives were barebones HTML, CSS, and javascript.

They were forced, in 2013, by Google who used their monopoly search position to enforce 'responsive' design (i.e. frameworks) otherwise your page got delisted. This company is ripe for anti-trust.
