The ideal framework would be one that doesn't try to put web technologies into everything.

We reuse a web-language to do non-web stuff because nobody wants to learn a whole new language and maintain a different codebase for non-web stuff like apps.

nything that doesn't rely on node_modules (or better - that doesn't rely on the Node way of doing things) at all, no bundling, with the minimal tooling possible

While the no-node way is easier, it's not very flexible. You can't have multiple file components, or stuff like that. If you need those, in the end you will have to compile it.
