This can be generalised to all software that is perceived to be revolutionary. Sooner or later a big company that wants to retain and attract engineering talents will arrive, with a horde or junior engineers led by an engineer looking to justify a promotion or to embellish a CV.

API generators had the same thing. Strongloop was a decent frameworks before they started throwing 10'000 juniors to fix issues and made a mess of the codebase. If you look at the jungle the React codebase is and you compare it with Preact (it's smart, concise and performant) you'll understand why code quality matters. And I'm not talking about stupid metrics.
