sencha framework had all of this. a decade plus ago. tree compnents onnthe web were ultra hil, rhere were hundreds of them. this is doable modernly today too; none of it is unavailable. it's just not as popular.

i dont think any pretense that computing has very specific enduring ideas is at all ok. does iOS have any parallel constructs to you ask? i genuinely dont know but even if it does it's just not the mode.

iOS' native GUI is extremely similar to the one on macOS and is packed full of the same Cocoa-ish concepts.

They had to add multi-touch and they had to deal small screens (and reorientation), but the basic GUI concepts are essentially the same as in macOS.
