Whether Razor or Server Side React, it's the same thing. Both are compiled and produced on the server and sent to the client. No difference except that react is a much better template engine.
Why is React superior to Razor Templates (or for that matter, Razor pages) for server side templating?
I support the assertion that it’s a good paradigm for creating consumable SSR templates I just don’t see anything that empirically cuts it above Razor other than if you know JSX/JavaScript it’s obviously more natural but I’m assuming that’s taken for account here
React is component based, this allows for a level of encapsulation and reusability that cannot be achieved with Razor. You might not truly appreciate this until you try out React.
If you don't want to dig too deep though, compare how to add a datepicker to a view in both systems. With React it is just another component, with Razor it is a bit more finicky.
