I took the more control to mean React gives you more choice over what libraries you want to include in your architecture, whereas Angular/VueJs. are more opinionated.

HTTP call libraries are a good example. Angular comes with HttpClient in the box, and while it might be possible to use something else, Angular is really going to prefer if you makre your HTTP calls using HttpClient.

As I understand it, React does not have a parallel. React shrugs its shoulders and says "use what you want," whether it's just using fetch or some other JS library.

Total control is maybe an extreme way to put it, but React certainly more "fill in the blank" than the other frameworks.

It's supposed to be a bad thing that React doesn't add yet another way of making HTTP calls? There is already a standard way of doing that (fetch). Why should a web framework add another one?
