They don't have to.

When you decide to switch from one web component library to another, you don't have to rebuild the components you already have; you can use components built with the old library and the new one without real challenges. Regardless of what base classes a library may use, the end result is a web component that adheres to a spec.

Like frameworks, I expect web component tooling to come and go, but because they're spec-compliant, you should be able to use them in a new application long after they are no longer updated.
