I can imagine a world where this would be useful, being able to drop something in as easy as a <select/> element seems fine.

It seems useful for UI primitives, like a dialog, tooltip etc, that the browsers might not implement as native elements themselves. But as a building block for creating entire applications? I don’t think so.

Which means they’re always going to need to hook into the framework that’s rendering them, either to connect state, managing effects, or for styling.

I just don’t see sharing a component regardless of framework as a major problem worth solving right now. Buy into a framework and community like React and you can just drop components into your app. It’s not framework-agnostic but it works.
