I _could_ also just write API endpoints and handle client-side interaction however I want. If your preferences are incompatible with mine, that's a tradeoff I'm choosing to make. I am doing the work, you see, and I can choose how I want to do it.

You ostensibly run some flavor of Linux. Do you also complain that macOS apps don't run on your machine? It seems to me like a similar argument: somebody has developed an application in some particular way, but your choices have resulted in that application not running on your machine. Your choices are not necessarily _wrong_, but they are of very little consequence to somebody who has developed an application with a particular environment/runtime in mind. Why should they have to make significant architectural changes to their application to support your non-standard choices?
