> I think the issue is that people keep expecting something from React that React has specifically stated it does not do, which is handle everything.

You can't really have it both ways though: if you're going to say React doesn't do all those things then you have to accept that people who want something more streamlined and comprehensive should legitimately look somewhere else, and React is only for people who want to spend the time assembling their own solution (for some acknowledged benefits). Vue has taken the more comprehensive approach while still being pretty flexible, and therefore suits a slightly different (but I would argue, broader) set of people.
