"jQuery was created for JS, and nearly every time you see JS code it's using jQuery." Doesn't that sound like something you would hear a few years ago?

Sure, but that’s a linguistic trick. That sentence implies a completely different meaning for the word “for”.

When I say JSX was created for React, I mean that it was created to be a part of the design of React. Meaning they both first came into broader public awareness at the same time, together, and have continued to be promoted as two independent parts of a single system.
