For anybody over the age of about 35, this entire article is utterly baffling because it's just extremely obvious things that we already know because this is how the Internet used to be about 20 years ago. Reading this just makes me feel very old.

It's not even 20 years ago, and literally nothing is stopping anyone from doing this now. All the tech is still there, and still works. Choose it. Be the change you want to see in the world. Hell you can even have the fancy version of it like Phoenix LiveViews.
I would if I was working on anything that was just a page of text and shitty flat forms like these examples always assume.
The last company I worked for it honestly took me about two months to actually grok what they were doing with their forms because I couldn't fathom why you'd do this input-listener business on the FE while the backend was all Django APIs. They had re-engineered a form wizard flow and scattered the state management into three places (some in the API calls, some in third party API calls in the middle of the flow, and a decent chunk in the React flow via cookies/sessions). It was madness trying to debug it.
