This surprised me too. But I think it really boils down to there being both more demand and less available supply of React developers.

Embedded C/C++ development has been around much longer and is far more conservative in terms of adopting new technology. So they have a much larger labor pool of experienced developers who are going to be familiar with the core technologies of the job. Web shops migrated quickly to technologies like Angular and React, whereas the vast majority of C++ shops likely won't be adopting C++17 any time soon unless it's a smaller team's greenfield endeavor. I'd also argue there's less training necessary to go from, say, C++03 to C++17 than going from ES5 jQuery to ES6+ (or Typescript) React.

Hard disagree on the C++03 -> C++17 bit. They're like two completely different languages.
