Million.js doesn't intend to be for precise update libraries, it just attempts to optimize parts of the virtual DOM that can be optimized. Props diffing is up to the library developer, Virtual DOM by default is "just pass the props down and we'll figure out the UI" (like React), vs precise update libraries which is "we'll diff the props then construct the UI."
It still fundamentally is a virtual DOM, you can use it like a Virtual DOM, in fact, you can use it without a compiler. However, it can be "augmented" by a compiler to achieve better performance. I'm not sure about glimmer but I'll do a bit of research into that.
I think Sinuous and Solid are more on the precise update libraries (I don't know specifically, just glazing over the readmes). Virtual DOM and precise update libraries are two different architectures, and diffing is done at a different level. The opt-outs can be conditionally calculated at compile-time, meaning that conditional statements would be unnecessary (just inserting flags into the runtime function).
Thanks for the encouragement, I'll do more research and see how I can improve Million further

I agree with your description.
