With all due respect, I believe there is a certain demographic in IT that just has a way too trivial working model of how stuff they don’t work on directly operates.

Like, they know how to do a simple HTTP query in C/go whatever, and then don’t understand why would you need the whole complexity of spring.

It just turns out that the real world is more complex than what they assume - and they are often more than aware of that in their specific subfield.

Yes, and to me the logical conclusion of that is to not worry about how complex React is. I'm sure someone somewhere needed the complexity of each feature somewhere along the line. Is it more than I need? Yes, but maybe someday the complexity will be something I appreciate. And in the meantime, you can just ignore it since it's not directly in your path.
