You should read the htmx “book” (https://hypermedia.systems/ ) where the use case is clearly explained. It advocates for using htmx to enhance a page with more interactivity by extending html semantics and behaviours a bit (thus requiring minimum effort and learning curve) and move to more heavyweight client-side front end stuff (react and friends) if more interactivity or complex behaviours are needed.

You can whip up a simple html form and spruce it up with htmx so it feels “modern” to current users, with little effort and changes and importantly without having to learn the insanity that are modern front end stacks. Not only curmudgeons from the 90s like me benefit from this!
