Who told you to install any of those frameworks?

Vanilla JS have been perfectly tenable for a while now. No, you don't need to use React.

Yeah it was VanillaJS. Try to add a "modern" build system to vanillaJS and then let me know in 1-2 years time how it goes

What build system? Bro, it's literally a bunch of HTML and JS files. You ain't need any "build system" for that.

Are you using TypeScript, Babel, etc. or do you have to create code to check if the browser supports fat arrows, template literals, const, etc.? What's the size of your team and how many older browsers and old phone browsers do you have to support? If you have to support many browsers, want to use modern language features and you don't want to write code to check that the browser supports modern syntaxes then you do need a build system.
