Primitives are similar to prefabs in Unity. They abstract the core entity-component API to:

Pre-compose useful components together with prescribed defaults
Act as a shorthand for complex-but-common types of entities (e.g., <a-sky>)
Provide a familiar interface for beginners since A-Frame takes HTML in a new direction
