You can also use the web platform straight up without transpilation, build tools, post-css compilation and all that jazz.
Just vanilla JavaScript, CSS, HTML, some sprinkles of WebComponents. And you can be pretty sure that you won't have to update that for a decade or more, as compatibility won't be broken in browsers.
Heck, I have vanilla JS projects I wrote 15 years ago that still render and work exactly like how they rendered/worked when I wrote them.

Indeed, that baggage is all that I avoid by using HTMX.
You do you. It's worth knowing though that using HTMX is not vanilla JS/HTML/CSS, it's literally the opposite of that.
