If you look at their incentives differently, i would argue they doing well with their goals. Every "use server" is another vercel customer. Every preact user finds it harder to claim they are using react when apis showing up in react canary and being documented for nextjs don't exist for them.

React isn't a Vercel product though, and server components are a react feature rather than a NextJS feature.

With regards to incentives, these newer react features only meet their goals if the goal is to use react the open source project as a funnel for Vercel, the for profit hosting company.

Most of the core React devs are employees at Vercel. As much as you may not like it, core parts of React are driven by Vercel 's business model.
Most? Looks like 3 out of 20 people

Is React no longer a Facebook/Meta project?
