This is a comical misrepresentation of reality. The actual reason people switched to React was because it was what Facebook was doing and they wanted to imitate one of the wealthiest companies to ever exist, not because the masses had problems with rendering form widgets. This problem was solved twenty years ago. Perhaps the worst part about this slander is that benchmarks have actually shown time and again that vanilla JS is superior to React in terms of performance.
