>In my opinion, React made a revolution with hooks and contexts

I agree with your overall point 100%, but to be honest nothing in React was / is innovative except for the virtual DOM diffing, but even that is becoming increasingly irrelevant as apps are moving towards more and more reactive architecture. React made a huge impact on web dev and deservingly so, but all of the other ideas have been implemented and used on the web before.

Of course it's great that React is bringing some of these good ideas to mainstream, but they've been there way before they have been distributed along with a VDOM algo.
