I dig WebComponents because I love building on standards which promote interoperability across frameworks and have long term lifelines. Standards reduce platform + dev lock-in and reduce framework balkanization and frankly chaos in many cases. You are a better developer if you understand the root standards and core systems, which WebComponents get you closer to.

I also like the Lit Framework (https://lit.dev/) from Google which is rarely mentioned but it is quite nice for some of the simplifications and extras you might need when building them but it doesn't get in the way or try to take over your entire domain with dev-lockin.

Whether going direct to WebComponents or a higher level simplification like Lit, they really are a freedom from dev lock-in that is nice to see.
