This exactly. It seems like the last 10 years of JavaScript framework progress has been driven by DX, not UX. Like at some point everyone forgot this crap just needs to work at the end of the day, no user benefits from 3 rewrites over 5 years because the developer community decided functions are better than classes.

In my view, DX should be renamed "Developer Convenience" as we all know that convenience is often a trade-off.

Please forgive the self-promotion but this was exactly the premise of a conference talk I gave ~18 months ago at performance.now() in Amsterdam: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f5felHJiACE
