MODERATORS
Lots of other very pragmatic solutions also seem ridiculous.
Every problem is going to cost either clock cycles or highly skilled programmer time.
Currently, in the world, all eleven competent user interface element developers are occupied with more important tasks.
Until one of those eleven finds some extra free time, the rest of us get to slap electron into everything, and he thankful we can spread our atrocious CSS anti-talents to one more problem-space.
~~Who are these eleven? Didn't realize the number is so small. Who determines who they are?~~
Turns out it was an exaggeration
I am, hopefully, exaggerating on the 11 count. I don't know the exact number, and likely no one does - but it genuinely is shockingly small, considering how critical usability and accessibility are to everyday use of code.
Anyone can study the principles of usability and accessibility, but the number of experts we have really is far too few, and I suspect it's is why we have so much reuse instead of innovation, right now.
My bad for misunderstanding your exaggeration ๐
