Some folks simply don't want to use a build system, whether it be for experimentation or not wanting to deal with the overhead of tooling.
Others are looking for options that might minimize overall script / JS size (which is a hallmark of Jason Miller, author of both Preact and HTM).
Another might be to make this easier for beginners. For example, the React docs link to an example HTML page that uses the `babel-standalone` build [0] as a way to try out JSX syntax. However, that's a hefty piece of JS, and it's not at all advisable for real use. HTM might be a good alternative to that.
