Yep, by default they compile to regular JavaScript classes

Ah ok, we have been looking into using Stencil for some shared components. I assumed you could do this with Svelte but I couldn't find any examples.

But even though Rich built in a way to compile for web components in Svelte, which at least admits the need to address them, he tells you it's not recommended.

It's just a nice to have thing. Svelte is a compiler, so it can just change a target of compilation to WC. But not really many people in the community really use this opportunity.
