Basically "maybe you're overthinking front-end" is just another way of saying that front-end isn't "serious programming". In no other part of software development do people start sneering that a few dozen k of library code and a compiler is overengineering.

The other weird thing is corporations do own the end to end experience and always have. IE, Chrome, Safari.

And by weird, I just mean the framing of this argument. I guess the last time a corp tried something like this, would be dart. And well...

Corps own the browser—I meant more along the lines of Facebook hypothetically owning React, Jest, webpack, lodash, Gulp, TypeScript, LESS, etc, and taking it as a first priority that they ALL work seamlessly together.

They own an editor, flowtype, jest, react, redux, helped communication of webpack in the early days. That is p full.

I don't think they own an editor - MS owns Code if that's what you were thinking (surprising, I know). But yeah, I'm grateful for as much as Facebook's contributed - they've pushed web dev forward incredibly. Still doesn't hurt to compare to native solutions like .net
