This is a good explanation.

Newbies drop directly to webpack/react and are overwhelmed or having a lot of trouble getting some details right.

Unfortunately a lot of details that are lost in time are accessible if you go through "build stuff basically from ground" so understanding first "why" we needed these frameworks and what were problems to solve.

There is also bunch of people who go to rediscover basic stuff and they claim "you don't need a framework - vanilla js is enough" - but they also miss context and did not run into problems that were pain points before we had frameworks.
