Preact adds, among other things..

1. Potential compatibility issues. Their preact/compat package doesn't cover 100% of cases (of course it doesn't, otherwise it'd just be React)

2. Risk. Will this thing be maintained long term? I mean sure a potential migration to React probably wouldn't be too painful but.. why?

So, starting from "The average speed for 4G LTE is typically between 10 and 30 Mbps for downloads"

Saving 100kb buys you what exactly? The initial download certainly isn't a factor.. and in a case where the performance really matters you probably want to skip both anyway

The average speed/connection is not 4G LTE.

And react usually is not just 100kb.

SSR html is vastly faster for all parties involved. So much so that all spa frameworks have introduced some sort of server rendering, astro is growing a lot, and things like htmx, datastar, hotwire etc are all getting a lot of fawning attention.
