Usually, it is hard to remove from our front-end entirely, but we surely can optimize it. A lot of developers don’t like WordPress because of the legacy code (support) that comes from the generous backward compatibility thinking.
Today by default, WP loading the jQuery 1.x version, which is old and full of unnecessary code (and browser support).
Because of the big ecosystem, it is hard to pull this dependency out, but we hope that someday we will have more options.
To remove it entirely is almost impossible today, but we can optimize it with a newer version.
