will-change promises smoother animations through GPU layer promotion, and it delivers on that promise when used correctly. Applied permanently to too many elements, though, it causes memory leaks, increases GPU memory usage, and can actually make animations slower instead of faster.

Polymorphic components let the caller decide which HTML element actually gets rendered, without the component itself needing a separate variant for it.
