The discussions always get muddy here. React, the view library, can't directly be blamed for how people use it, its just a collection of code.

The react codebase does include quite a few features that support using it for more than just basic view rendering of dynamic content though. Hooks support async logic that really doesn't belong in the view layer, context providers get muddy quickly as they can pass around more than serializable state, and with server components react is arguably not even a view library at all.

The problem is ultimately how devs chose to use, and how to promote the use of, react. Given that the codebase also supports those use cases today though, its reasonable to me that people often peg blame on react itself.
