While I agree with the general gist of the article (and please, yes, it seems like a minor thing, but give us resizable iframes), except that "reactivity" does not meet the bar of developers collectively having landed on a solution to a common problem. There are a couple of frameworks with similar, but different, approaches to it, and yet none of them is truly widespread. I'm very sceptical that standardisation would hit the right mark at this point in time.
But yes, that is basically what we saw with Web Components. People took drew the wrong conclusions about what problems React solved ("everything is a component"), and then tried to retrofit Web Components as a native solution to the problem - with the added assumption that just because it was built-in, it was better.
