The idea of components is fine. I should have been clear, there. The problem typically comes from the authoring tools. To have the hooks necessary to put the decoration that we want, in html, they typically add a ton of div elements. When, realistically, you could almost certainly get what you want with very minimal markup.
And being fair, I'm sure this has gotten a bit better in recent years. But the Rube Goldberg efforts people would put in to get the "flow" of the browser to automatically place things in locations that were easily calculated is frustrating.
