I would change it a bit and suggest that after angular, they did react, and after 18 months of that it was too convoluted, but 'hooks' solved everything, and then 12-18 months after that, things are just way too complex, and they're now investigating svelte or something else.

I rarely see any decent architecture survive growth and real world use beyond a couple years. It's usually either 1) "no one could possibly have foreseen this new use case/requirement" (from less experienced folks) or 2) "YAGNI!" when trying to build in some abstraction levels to handle use cases you know will happen down the road.

In reality these often become the scapegoat for a need to refactor. I know refactor is a four letter word to some, but the truth is we grow as developers and architects and learn from our mistakes.

There's a tendency to blame the tools. You can build a big, high quality app in almost any language and framework.
