> Today, with Vue. I prototyped a JSX/JSON backed version, where a watcher listens to the store. The UI commits any changes to the store and the watcher re-renders the HTML. I did this with just ~90 LOC.
The community with the first decent (open-source or paid) page builder gets my vote. I could use that in so many projects (and tell people "Yes it's WordPress" when the underlying tech is something else).
I was expecting it to be React, with each component having a frontend view and an admin view, and then I'd do server-side-rendering, but happy if it's VueJS...

On the backend I have seen probably more "low skill" and even "incompetent" Java devs than any other language. Why? My guess is the low barriers to entry (as you say) and the ubiquity. I've also worked with some amazingly sharp Java devs too.
You're definitely right about the "borderline or de-facto frauds running webdev businesses selling 'ultrasophisticated' corporate websites on Wordpress to F500 types for few $k USD per hour of dev time." That's a rough problem and makes legitimate big-time web development bids induce sticker shock.

Because on average, the skill level in the whole webdev community is low. Below that of "a dev with average schooling, and average industry experience"
Webdev has close to no barriers for entry, and is under the strongest influence from the fact that the evaluation of deliverables is not done by another tech professional out of all software development jobs
The combo above makes things that are unheard of in other software development niches possible, like meeting borderline or de-facto frauds running webdev businesses selling "ultrasophisticated" corporate websites on Wordpress to F500 types for few $k USD per hour of dev time, or well entrenched in-house "developers" in tech giants who made it to six digits on technobabling to non-tech managers and copy and paste.
All of this is evidently projecting onto to the tech solutions used in the trade, and the popular image of the webdev development process. And over the time, popular stereotypes are becoming self fulfilling prophesies: Angular - was an okish framework at near 1.0, but marketing messaging made it look like an "enterprise stuff," and their devs eventually turned it into it - purposelessly overengineered monster filled with SOAisms; jQuery - got bad fame for unusable, animation rich websites made by least talented part of the dev community, and this infamity has both sealed its further development, and was responsible for attracting even more unskilled devs into making websites with crawling slow animation;
And like this for few pages, as well as for the notion of webdev world being "unstable." Many people here who are not novices to webdev can probably call few sites that had a "single piece of JS code continuously maintained over 10 years" or more. I myself knew people who were making yandex.ru homepage in nineties, they say that a very sophisticated ajax autocomplete code there was developed and maintained continuously since 2004

However, it's perhaps possible that certain parts of GDPR impact core businesses processes involving the handling of customer data. None of this can be farmed out in a hands-off manner. It requires deep integration into your daily business. I cannot think of any framework that could handle such a thing, or a compliance service that could handle it for you.
You could definitely offer GDPR-compliance Wordpress or Magento as a service! It's just possible, however, that some things your customers could do with your offering might hold the potential to violate GDPR. As a result, you could not guarantee that you assume all the compliance requirements on their behalf in all cases.
In short, you're right! There is definitely room for some compliance services to be offered as a service! It's just, barely, possible that some small fraction of the items concerned might not be well-suited to this approach is all.
Have you considered reading the text of GDPR? You might find it to be an educational and informative experience. I did.

However, maybe they can? Compliance as a service? Sounds like just the kind of Bay Area centric idea that VC’s love to fund.
But it seems like there’s some commen sense patterns that our tooling should take up. A framework can take up the transparency, and user control aspects. Framework might be too narrow, platform might be more like it. Things like Wordpress, Magento or Shopify can be “GDPR compliant”.
