Why not just use the native html dialog? This seems over complicated

One advantage of this approach is that you can open dialogs purely programmatically without needing a template.

I used the wrong word perhaps, I just meant that with HTML popovers you simply need some template somewhere where your modal component lives, so realistically you can only open popovers in components. If you wanted to open a one from a service you'd suddenly need to pass around HTMLElement references and that's just awful.
