I was looking at the discussion elsewhere, and for the majority out there, the modern JS stack; does resemble the following in terms of packages:
But I guess that is because there is a big community out there working on these, and there are “easy-to-get-started” tutorials out there. I see at least a couple of people being proponents for using Vanilla JS; do you think people are swayed to the above solutions because there is a lack of beginner resources.
What can we do to make the VanillaJS way more easy so that more people can jump in this track of web development?
I think the best way is to start promoting VanillaJS in favor of big stacks yourself. There are a few good resources here on Hashnode to back you with the arguments you need, like
and more. Additionally, you should write your own VanillaJS stories and questions and share links and propose the usage of training sites, like CodeWars, which make people use VanillaJS to solve problems.
I think a lot of people out there adopt a web application stack when they really just needed to build a web site and didn't need a framework at all.
So perhaps the trick is to get people to more actively decide what they really need and not assume they have to jump on a bandwagon.

I don't understand what are you talking about. JavaScript is the most easiest language in the world. This language was designed to be humane, simple and to be used by designers as well. I don't have any problems.
Problem is always with society. People "invent" nothing, then market virtual problems, people make problems for themselves and later blaming everyone else.
Another problem is with "easy-to-get-started" in software engineering, Web and JavaScript. There are no easy ways to get started and it is impossible to get skill fast. It is possible only with the right intention, focus and 10 000 hours practice. It is not like a get started with a ready library or a framework.
However, of course, we need more modern materials and resources about JavaScript and app architecture itself to help novice engineers get started in their long journey and to give them a plan how to become a great engineer. I have already provided a basic starting point in my answer to What sites do you use to learn Vanilla JS?.
Very, very, very great question.
First, stop using frameworks. VanillaJS already is easy.
Second. This is exactly what I am trying to do. Please join BunnyJS community which is going to solve that problem, to promote JavaScript and simple architecture, to become a standard and a home for good practices, to become a place where discussions starts, to be much more then just a library or a framework.
