<iframe> is different from what the author is asking for, it has its own DOM and etc. He wants something like an SSI but client side. He explains some of the problems right after the part you cut off above
"We’ve got <iframe>, which technically is a pure HTML solution, but they are bad for overall performance, accessibility, and generally extremely awkward here"
