Not sure I understand the point of this article. It seems that we're trying to talk about how popularity doesn't reflect the most advanced technical solution. But where is that the case? Java's adoption is huge compared to say Clojure or Elixir. One reason why people choose React is due to being able to hire a specific set of developers and leverage the huge eco-system of tools, libraries and information surrounding React. React has reached the late majority now, and it's everywhere. Most of these mentioned libraries, i.e. Svelte or SolidJS, are probably more in the early adopter phase. These things take time.
