So if we use stuff to make stuff easier why are people still trying to bang nails in with a piece of glass by using react when easy was using html/css/js made easier with htmx?
Well call me a heathen, but I've never even considered React. Instead I always generate HTML server side and spruce it up using a little JavaScript if necessary (I even use jQuery sometimes). It's reliable, works fast, easy to debug, requires little maintenance, doesn't require a build chain of >100K files of several hundreds of megabytes.
Of course I'm open to the possibility that I'm Doing It Wrong™.
