Not sure why you lumped React in there. Hack is loopy, and GraphQL was overhyped but conditionally useful, but React was legitimately useful and a real improvement over other ways of doing things at the time. Compare React to contemporary stuff like jQuery, Backbone, Knockout, Angular 1.x, etc.

I agree with you very much, if what you are building actually benefits from that much client side interactivity. I think the counterpoint is that most products could be server rendered html templates with a tiny amount of plain js rather than complex frontend applications.
