What is the advantage over just using this:
var source = new EventSource('pull?name=one');
source.onmessage = function (event) {
document.getElementById('events').innerHTML += event.data;
};

Or you just do a HTTP request?
I mean you're not wrong: end of the day htmx is just some javascript written on top of standard vanilla javascript apis. It tries to handle things in a more html-centric, attributes-driven manner than script-oriented approaches do, but it's nothing too complicated

Or, for extreme minimalisim, htmz, which repurposes iframes for a similar idea:
HTMX can do much more than just innerHTML swap.
