It’s a long time since I have to work with websites. JQuery was the hot stuff back then. But we didn’t used it. It was all HTML and a Java backend. This sentence implies that right now basic stuff isn’t managed by the browser (but by React, Vue and so on?) which seems to be simply wrong.

That's exactly what's happened. A React SPA .html is just an empty shell. A Next.js app renders HTML using React on the first load and then becomes an SPA on the client.
