Yeah, HTML is simple and completely and utterly static. Its simple to the point of not being useful for displaying stuff to the user.
Static pages have been perfectly fit for purpose useful for displaying stuff to the user for literally thousands of years. HTML builds upon that by making it so you don't have to flip through a TOC or index to look up a reference. What more do you want?
Lmao, oh yes bruv, let's provide our users with a card catalog to find information on our website.
It worked for hundreds of years so it's good enough for them right?
People want pleasant UXs that react quickly and immediately to their actions. We have decades of UX research very clearly demonstrating this.
