React is more than JSX. I don't think the author is lazy. Some relevant points from the blog,

> I’ve done a CodeAcademy class, completed Wes Bos‘s React for Beginners course, bought books, listened to podcasts, and read tutorials. Hell, I even paid someone to build a side-project app I designed in React so I could learn how it works

> I’ve written elsewhere how I’ve never had a computer science course in my life, and I call myself a frontend designer,

> Tooling and build step stuff are tough to get my head around
