While I agree that it would have been nice had he given examples of why React is bad and/or Web Components are better, I don't see anywhere in the post where he suggests React is bad simply because its developed by a for-profit corporation. His argument in that respect is that Facebook has a financial incentive to strengthen their walled garden and, to that end, they promote a custom implementation over web standards. And that is bad for everyone. There is a more recent post (https://www.pandastrike.com/posts/20160331-facebook-react-party-gone-wrong-socratic-dialog https://www.pandastrike.com/posts/20160331-facebook-react-pa... - thanks to @suyash for pointing that out!) that clarifies this point and even offers some counter-points to the argument. It doesn't touch on the technical merits of Web Components over React which I would like to see but I have to agree with their overall feeling on the matter.
