>"Slowing innovation across the frontend ecosystem" sounds like a really good idea to me.

I agree, part of why I detest frontend and its' ecosystem is because these things seem to be always in motion and there never seems to be a solution that is just "good enough". This seems insane to me on a conceptual level because in the end it's just putting things on display on the internet which is something we've been doing for decades. And it's not like things have got better for the end user anyway seeing how so many websites written in these frontend frameworks are abysmally slow.

I wouldn't have much issue with the state of things if I was just a hobbyist making my own website for fun but I do mind when the job market constantly demands something different. I'm glad that React is the de-facto winner because this is what I need to know to get a job but I still see positions that require Angular or Vue.js and I don't even bother with sending my resume because I know I will be rejected. From my experience most companies do not care that you have worked with a different framework in the past, they expect the exact one they've listed.
