Problem is that people use big frameworks even for cases where code base will not grow significantly in complexity (or even size). I believe that was the author's idea, not that React is bad in specific use cases that it handles, just that you need to make sure that you really will have the problem, before trying to solve it. For a lot of folks out there using react or angular is a form of premature optimization, and we all know what Donald Knuth used to say about it...
