Wrong, it’s a lie some people forced years ago. “DOM manipulation” boils down to setting attributes and reordering children. It works the same for everyone cause it’s a browser API.

React, Vue and Angular work slower because they have to actually find a difference between the last two versions of their “virtual dom” to get a set of changes to apply to existing dom elements, which they then do in the same way as everyone else.
