These are interesting assertions and run contrary to my experience. I work for a successful startup and our front-end team uses Svelte. We've had nothing but success. We run a production-grade mobile app (Cordova) on old low-powered client-provided devices including RF guns (Android 5 to 9) with multiple thousands of concurrent users in stores/logistics warehouses, and a web app running on desktop (Chrome/Firefox/Safari). And, every front-end developer we have (including myself) learned Svelte on-the-job within a few weeks.
