Hmm, I think you make a lot less sense than the original author does. I have been through some of the things he described, I tried Web Components before React in 2014 (used ExtJS, then React since 2016, plus Solid since 2021) and the point about React commodifying developers rings true. "Oh, those are React projects, let's hire some students and fire the leads"... there are multi-billion-dollars-in-revenue companies that do that. Has it happened before React? Sure, but React definitely lends itself to that kind of thinking.
