What makes React fundamentally worse than Vue or Svelte? In my experience, there are also plenty of crappy Vue-based sites and applications and I'm sure the same is true for Svelte.

> Today, you open facebook, the creators of React - normal drop-down with just a list of barely 5-6 items is a fucking component that makes 10 different requests. I would even argue this unnecessary forced interactivity is what perhaps annoyed users the most as everything always has to "load" with a spinner to the point of the platform being unusable.

That's a design decision, though. Sure, your point is basically that React is not opinionated enough and allows you to do anything. But in the same way you could criticize JavaScript or Python because they allow you to do "anything" and some people write shitty code.
