Yes, you are totally right, templates suck, combining HTML with programming language is always the best, just remember that most of the history of web most back-ends are in PHP and since PHP works well with HTML generation nobody ever used template engines. Years of maintaining repeating combinations of PHP and HTML did not prove that this sucks and nobody ever invested time in creating stupid things like Blade, Mustache, Smarty, Twig, Volt. You are so right.

P.S. sorry for being agressive, but arguments like “nobody needs templates” are around for ages and you come and claim to be smarter than hundreds of people who used templates.
