DO WEB COMPONENTS MAKE YOUR DESIGN SYSTEM FRAMEWORK-AGNOSTIC?

Summary from the TLDR Design newsletter

Web components only handle the JavaScript enhancement layer of a design system, leaving templating, data injection, and styling tied to specific stacks. JavaScript orchestration — for tasks like AJAX data fetching and cross-component event coordination — still requires either a library or custom code, regardless of web components. Calling this approach "framework-agnostic" is misleading, as it simply shifts significant implementation burden onto consuming teams.
