I actually like how it compiles down. In a native macOS app I just released this morning, I wrote originally in Preact, converting JSX to function calls to avoid a build phase, and eventually replaced the Preact function with a custom function that creates DOM elements directly. Not only was it a fun learning experience, but it took a relatively tiny amount of time to do, precisely because translating JSX to equivalent DOM node creation code is so predictable and transparent.
