Yep, I spent an insane amount of time in the aughts to emulate native-feeling menus in JS with submenus and proper focus behavior for both keyboard and mouse.

If only browsers had used the past two decades to provide a comprehensive set of well-behaved, uniform, native-feeling UI controls for 95% of the use cases. Instead web devs still spent a lot of time reskinning and re-implementing basic controls.



In many cases they did I'd argue... They just weren't pretty enough.
