{{should-avoid this.renderModifiers butHow=true}}
summary
Claims that render modifiers are now an anti‑pattern and were only a migration bridge from classic to Glimmer components. Demonstrates three concrete replacements: use custom modifiers to initialize and teardown DOM libraries (avoids extra wrapper elements and groups setup/teardown), use the component Constructor plus registerDestructor to add/remove global event listeners, and replace fetch-on-render with reactive, lazy resources (or task resources) to encapsulate fetching, refetching on argument changes, and avoid eager requests.
