When a technology becomes popular enough, it develops a community that solidifies that choice: conferences, books, extensions, a generation of engineers that see things in terms of React.
A technology needs to be a lot better to overcome that aspect.
Sometimes I visit a subreddit for a tech and see them all discussing strategies/techniques that are ultimately workarounds for what an alternative technology has fundamentally solved, but...
the original tech has an army of volunteers able to help newbies workaround it, which is often an easier onboard experience than the alternative tech that just works, but doesn't have any advocating solutions/blog posts because there are no blog posts to be written.
