Concatenating HTML strings in buildFragment is a possible security risk as it creates an opportunity of escaping the concatenated wrapper. It also makes it impossible to support secure HTML wrappers like [trusted types](https://web.dev/trusted-types/). It's safer to create wrapper elements using `document.createElement` & `appendChild`. The previous way was needed in jQuery <4 because IE <10 doesn't accept table parts set via `innerHTML`, even if the element which contents are set is a proper table element, e.g.: ```js tr.innerHTML = "<td></td>"; ``` The whole structure needs to be passed in one HTML string. jQuery 4 drops support for IE <11 so this is no longer an issue; in older version we'd have to duplicate the code paths. IE <10 needed to have `<option>` elements wrapped in `<select multiple="multiple">` but we no longer need that on master which makes the `document.createElement` way shorter as we don't have to call `setAttribute`. All these improvements, apart from making logic more secure, decrease the gzipped size by 58 bytes.
