100% agree - bringing in a framework for a landing page is insane to me in regards to pushing dependencies where they don't belong.

In this conversation I have yet to see one solid argument for inclusion of React on a landing page outside of "it can help the developers pivot to landing page + something else". Sure I can sorta see this, but if you're an engineer who decides on major dependency inclusions based on what may happen you're over-engineering (ESPECIALLY in regards to a landing page).
