Why is it such a strong factor for you? I see this point being made every time someone mentions a framework that doesn't use JSX.
But frameworks are so complex nowadays! Learning something the size of React, whatever templating language it uses is the least of my worries. Especially because calling it a DSL is a bit of an overstatement, it's always just HTML with a few custom tags/attributes that let you inject values, use loops and conditionals.
For me it’s cause there exists already perfectly capable and better ways to do these operations.
I don’t need or want to work in an environment that reinvents how to map over a list.
Frameworks and libraries have their own APIs like reacts hooks or solids signals. Yes these can be involved but they are different from the generalized solutions that the framework reinvents with the custom properties in alpine or the looping I mention
An API exposing the capabilities of a framework is different than reinventing data attributes, looping etc
