More like React scrambled to add a feature to check a box in a comparison chart with the upstarts no matter how cumbersome or disruptive the API changes ended up relative to existing codebases.

The new frameworks were poised to eat React's lunch, they knew it, and they needed something quick to hold back the rising tide.

They may succeed, but only due to inertia, not a better/cleaner solution.

Not really, the percentage of users for Solid, Svelte, and Remix are vanishingly small. They're essentially testgrounds for React anyway.
