If I create a library I would usually make it to solve my own usecase. And if you mainly work with react-apps, and your plan is to use it in an react app. Why not also make the library in react?

In this case, I guess the developer wanted to use JSX to create it. And you could ofc use JSX without React. But most people are used to using it in react-context, and plan to use it in an react-app anyway.

So to answer your question, in my eyes it would be. Why not? If the devs plan on using it in react-app anyway, it's not their job to make sure it supports everyone elses usecase.

Why put it on GitHub and a web page if you don't care about other people's use cases?

I have no problem with people writing code for themselves. But if that is what you do, please don't post on Hacker News about it.

It can still be useful even if it doesn't cover every single corner case.
