Something with React's approach is fundamentally broken, IMO, and this is why we see so many variations of state management libraries on React that we don't see on other frameworks because state kind of "just works" and is really, really simple when you are using signals.

My sense is that in React, the complexity comes from the management of minimizing the "blast radius" of state changes to prevent over-renders. So there are a lot of different approaches and ways that folks have cleverly engineered to solve this problem, but none of them feel as simple as say Pinia on Vue, for example.
