I see a lot of React hate which I can understand, but don't forget that React allows you to release faster as a big company.

React is a defacto standard that product people know and understand. They can ship complicated features faster across platforms (for example React Native), while the more technical engineers get to solve these more generic problems (dependency hells, integrations, CI/CD, performance).

Alternative solutions would potentially require more technical engineers to build features and thus slow down product development for a big company.

Pointing out badly constructed solutions using the wrong tech is valid criticism. It's not "hate" to say that React and this SSR setup is used being used unnecessarily for a site that doesn't need it.

This is absolutely not a rule in any way. Again, using the proper tech for the situation is what matters. Large teams with complex frontends can sometimes move faster with React, but there are million other factors that go into this.
