Still don't understand how we went from this to modern GUI toolkits.

It looks and works so intuitively.

It's that when we were kids we didn't really care about whether was free, open source, made by M$ or not, we didn't care about politics or how things should be (tm).

We were just amazed things existed at all.

Now, people shame people using WYSIWYG or VSCode or whatever else makes the life of people easier, other than top hard-core users.

And that's why even placing a centred text in the middle of a web page requires to know a whole stack of tech, and no step is you actually placing it there directly.
