Where are the components I can simply snap together to add a forum to a site, or an on-page json editor, or graphing

Welp, it's been more than 20 years now, and the job of creating websites has become much more complex and much less automated, not easier. React is the full-blown nightmare of taking two steps backwards for every inch forwards in this regard - now javascript that you used to just write and serve requires an extremely complex pre-compile step. You can't even "view source" anymore to see what's on the page when you use React, or go to a certain page with a url. And you lose your debugging info unless you create a "map", which is yet another step. Same for CSS. You used to just be able to write it, but now you have to pre-compile with Less or Sass. CSS itself has ballooned in complexity.
Where are the components I can simply snap together to add a forum to a site, or an on-page json editor, or graphing? Why are all urls custom and not standardized?
So this was encouraging news today at least: the idea that every site should have the same url path to its password change function:
/.well-known/change-password
I love how the guy who proposed it keeps it that simple, telling the complexity-mongers to fuck off, in a nice way:
The one mistake he made was including that dot. WTF? That hides the dir for no good reason. I asked the author of the proposal to remove the dot.
