When you used a built-in interactive HTML UI component (e.g. textarea, select, checkbox) in the browser was it because? A) Accessibility?
B) A better polished/integrated user experience than any JS library provides. C) Meh I just needed to throw something together.
Once you start reimplementing IME it's game over for accessibility and usability. The web should be spending time on primitives (see extensible web manifesto) but it never happened. In the absence of orthogonal primitives, reimplementing form controls is a losing bet imo.

It is one or the other but the past several years has delivered neither.

I agree. I still believe in the values of the EWM but browser engines changed their mind: they doubled down on telling people to make sure the HTML is visible to the parser so it can do magic optimizations.
