This seems untrue in my experience. How is the view in any way coupled to the model since the "model" is simply a plain object passed down from a parent component? How could it be any more decoupled? I'm not even sure what a "controller" is in the context of react, but nothing about react or JSX forces you to couple your logic to the render function, in fact, a react "stateless" component is literally a pure function without any knowledge of state or the wider application.

React breaks away from the traditional MVC model. MVC may work great on the server, but I just don't think MVC fits with modern UIs. Component-based architecture is far more powerful and scalable
