I think the root problem is React originally provided no place for business logic, and Context and hooks are a crap way to do that. Most devs couldn't figure out state management libraries (of course most of them are crap, so that's no surprise).

The thing that gets me is the big argument for React was supposed to be that it was _faster_ than AngularJs, but of course anyone could see that was because it didn't have all the features. As soon as they added more features, no one even tries to say it's faster. Every other article about React these days is about preventing unnecessary renders.
