Another poster whipped one together since this was posted, because it's so trivial to do with vanilla tech:

I also don't think anyone has a problem with someone who says: "I dunno, this was just the way I learned and I don't know the underlying tech."
But that's usually not what happens. Instead, there are endless rationalizations for why the obvious over-engineering is not only okay, but preferable.
No, that’s not the best tool for the job, that’s just the most convenient tool for the job.

This is the part engineers don’t get. Speed is an engineering feature. The most convenient is the best if it’s faster.
This is what a lot of people have trouble understanding: sometimes the best tool for the job is the tool you’re best in.
Evidence? No one has made this static website you’re talking about. It doesn’t exist. This one does. The imperfect app that exists beats the perfect app that is vapor.
