Whats wrong with just using HTML, Js and CSS for personal projects?
I do that. Duplicating the header, menu, and footer manually on every page is a pain in the ass. Not to mention the lack of minification.

Why do you care if your personal site is minified?

I was a web developer 25 years ago and for the majority of projects we only made static sites, all templated and minified. My skills are somewhat "of that time".
Recently I was asked to build a site to demonstrate some new software. It consisted of over 10k pages that once built would rarely, if ever be updated.
I just scripted and templated the generation of every single page hosted it in S3. This may sound ridiculous in this day and age but it takes a few minutes to rebuild and update the entire site.
Guess my point is I don't really find duplicating things to be a pain in the ass

Not sure I follow, do you not use templates and scripts to generate the static pages?

I think this issue better addressed in HTML spec. Basic functionality to include html snippets files in other HTML files should be standard. What am I missing?
And, I have my own take on it.
My static site generator Svekyll (https://extrastatic.dev/svekyll/svekyll-cli) has an option you can add to the _config.yml: "view_source"
If you do that, it provides a link at the bottom of each post which says "view source to this post" If you click on that, you can see all the files used to generate that post, and then download a zip which is a fully packaged tiny svelte app that builds into that blog page.
For example, this blog post on embeddings has a bunch of svelte components, embeds an embedding model right inside the page and runs it via JavaScript. If you scroll all the way down, you can download the zip file, unzip it and run "npm i && npm run build && cd build && npx http-server -o" and you can see the fully built blog.

So you need to learn HTML and CSS so you can use Origami to... avoid building a site with HTML and CSS?
