>Your about page is not improved by using react.

Well...fortunately people don't use React for making About pages.

These examples of why not to use React in these comments are silly, people use them for web apps 95% of the time.

I gave an example of a prominent web app I don't think needs a js framework - most web apps don't IMO as the web correctly centres the experience on documents. Games would be the obvious exception where an immersive app experience is warranted and there are no documents as such, almost every other app works with data organised into stores of documents (i.e. in gmail every email is a document and deserves its own URL IMO).

No, About pages are out of fashion and people don't do them in high numbers anymore. But they do use react to display news articles, web shops, and all kind of text.

This doesn't match my experience at all. I've seen many, many places where a bleeding-edge React stack was deployed to serve what was 100% static content.
