Obviously PlainJS author isn't going to do the debugging for you when a client calls you at 2am to ask you why some widget is broken on an old version of webkit on his android. Because that's why serious front-end developers use jQuery. Because the jQuery team actually tests the code against a wide range of browsers. All these libs hacked in an afternoon are lucky if they have at least some tests... And again, the DOM=/=Javascript. Jquery is as vanilla JS as all these libs. But some people still can't tell the difference. An API isn't the language. There is no "document.createElement" in the Javascript spec.
