React and its ilk doesn't even deliver on those goals. It encourages bad programming, makes terrible software practices easy and separates code so the piles of unmaintainable garbage don't smash into each other too harshly.
It doesn't actually empower anything - it acts as a scolding nanny prohibiting people from making things explode.
It does this by imposing a narrow opinion about things that's constantly changing with each release as it herds the programmer through very specific and alarmingly complicated ways of doing things.
It's fundamentally a tool of oppression, not one of expression and one of coercion and not liberation. I hate it so much.
