What's the advantage of AlpineJs vs baseline web technologies?

Scrolling through the simple intro examples, I would have implemented those with standard JS and DOM APIs just fine.

Implementing reactivity is a non-trivial task. With Alpine, you get Vue's without the rest of Vue.

Yeah ok.

To be fair, i have 3rd-party frames and js blocked on mobile. But cmon, not even the close button works without 3rd-party.

I'm rusted, but even i could implement that one properly in html and css only in half a hour.
