> This is all very well solved in semantic web

If it was solved with "semantic web" (whatever that means), we wouldn't have people attempting to solve this again, and again, and again.

That's patently false. The webdev community does nothing but reinvent/rediscover the wheel e.g. SSR.

What does SSR have to do with semantic web?

All "semantic web" can provide is a flat CSS namespace and a bunch of nested divs.

Even if you do everything right there's nothing semantic about it: https://inclusive-components.design/cards/

Remember when serverless got invented even though CGI already existed?
