The Longterm-Plan of Angular, React, Vue and others is to use the Web-Standards instead of Custom-Framework-Implementations.

Ha, interesting!

Why not use the web standards now? Not like writing HTML, CSS or plain JavaScript is tied to success of any corporation is it?

Why not use the web standards now?

Who defines the Web-Standard ?
I think the biggest lobby is probably whatwg.org

whatwg Members: Apple, Google, Facebook, Microsoft, Mozilla...

All of our popular WebFrameworks were created by Google, Facebook, Microsoft..

Probably they test the technique first in the field and then convert it to a webstandard.

These frameworks are like user interfaces for developers. These include either polyfills or native implementations. However, standardizing takes much longer than developing the frameworks so that they are always far ahead.

I think eg. to es6 transpilers or simliar. There you regularly use functions from the future.
The same companies that design our frameworks also set the web standards.
