Because of react's popularity, it's attractive to make a project that applies react's style of development to threejs.

Similarly, around 2013 threeQuery (threejs + jquery) was becoming somewhat popular too (it had a jquery "chain" api like syntax). It's good to see people experiment and attempt to improve developer efficiency. Who knows what new tricks will be discovered and what kind of benefit and new approaches will be created! However, I mostly agree with you.

I find threejs to be one of the most enjoyable libraries to work with (and its codebase is simple and beautiful too). I also highly recommend to everybody that wants to go into 3d graphics to dedicate some effort and learn the actual fundamentals (eg webgl, opengl, metal, matrix math, quaternions, etc). This way you gain domain specific knowledge that is applicable across platforms and across time. Abstractions are not future-proof, they are recycled and change according to the latest trends in development. Domain specific knowledge stays with you forever! If there is an intermediate ground on which people can meet (eg start with react-three or three.js and then dive deeper) that's a win too. Recently I have been advocating that web devs can start learning 3d graphic concepts by just playing with... CSS to familiarize with some of the concepts and then move from there. This way one can avoid all the overhead around the gl statemachines or various libs and focus on the basic concepts first
