The extra verbosity of vanilla JS never really bothered me.
I currently work with B2B applications in a sensitive banking context, so any time I can feasibly remove a 3rd party dependency it's almost certainly getting removed.
The extra LOC and time overhead is more than worth it for us. We get dinged on older products which do use jquery all the time by our customers who insist on using other 3rd party security scareware to light up random parts of their infra. I can't use 'but its elegant' or other technical handwavey bullshit as an excuse when the Chief Security Officer of Bank of America shoots me an email, even if there is zero chance the detected "vulnerability" would actually pose any risk in that particular context of use. Certainly, we could spend the time & energy fighting for exceptions, but its way easier to write a few extra lines of JS.
Don't forget the performance angle either. If you are doing a lot of element selection in a hot loop, document.getElementById can be orders of magnitude faster than the jQuery alternatives.
