I think both can be true. There are practical reasons to use React and Vue, but that practical approach is obfuscated by the zeitgeisty culture around tools that get unwisely applied to every use-case. Frontend architecture needs to be approached soberly and prudently. Not every site needs React and GraphQL. |

What I intended with my comment was to point out that the idea of new frameworks being created every week is a bit of an exaggeration and that it being the reason frontend development is fragmented is just totally incorrect.
React or Vue on their own with a sprinkling of helpful utility libraries will get most projects 99% of the way there though, and often times that _is_ simpler than trying to put together your own system for server side rendered pages and template composition.
Of course, if you're making a blog, you don't need any of this, but for _web applications_, I don't think I'd reach for SSR anymore.
