> Do you think it’s solely because of React?

Yes, if the company like reddit, facebook - which has prestige, finances and ability to hire rockstar-10x-A-players React/JS developers is unable to get their shit right and their react fronts works like garbage then it simply means that there is no hope, for some reason it's simply not possible to make performant app with React.

The other way around is to point at great React based apps. Linear’s project management tool is so quick and fast. It takes a whole mindset embedded into a team to make a product fast from the get-go.

Or it's purposefully bad to incentivize people to use their app which has more tracking. I've had React frontends that were performant and plain JS frontends that were laggy. It's not really a factor of the framework.
