Every choice has consequences, and technology is no exception.
To influence our future, it is good to have more choices or - arguably - better choices available.
The technology we choose has the power to influence the future, in terms of depending on some entity rather than some other; or even depending on someone else at all.
When you want a page to be beautiful and snappy, you have also to ponder whether depending on a CDN is a good thing. You have to ponder cautiously if depending on a full ecosystem of build tools and frameworks is actually something that will keep working years down the line or if it'll keep increasing costs for you.
Also, are you going to still be around for fixes when dependencies will break your application ?
Shiny packages might be a luxury you can't really afford, if you calculate the costs in the right way.
