I’ve had the same experience with svelte - where excellent css support is built into the framework itself.

Why does react makes this the developer’s problem to figure out? It feels a bit like a missed opportunity.

Historical reasons.

For a long time React was advertised and regarded as "just a UI library", so not having anything bundled with it was a conscious design decision.

End result is that you have an average of three popular solutions for stuff that's normally already included in other frameworks and no two React projects are the same.
