OP article amplifies it with:

>No, Windows Start isn’t built on React. No part of the start menu actually uses React.

But then

>This is the Windows 11 start menu. See that Recommended section at the bottom of it? That is built with React Native for Windows.

Its not just the headline its the content of the article.

What it should have done is focused on this claim:

>Microsoft is also vowing to use its native Windows UI framework, WinUI, in more areas of the system

Because like they said, React Native is calling WinUI.

But trying to split the React/Native hair is honestly just tiring. Its like saying you dont drink Coke, and then downing a full glass of Coke zero. "Oh but what I meant is that it doesn't call any sugar dependencies at all" is just weird. Just say you don't drink Sugar.
