This is silly. Facebook isn't forcing anyone to use React. People use it because it works better than the status quo. >The component philosophy of React does offer some organizational benefits, especially for working in a team, but it’s nothing that couldn’t be replicated by some simple coding conventions. If it's so simple to organize code why do many vanilla js codebases quickly devolve into spaghetti? It may be simple for the author, but not the average dev. Hell, it may not even be simple for the author if the author was placed in charge of a team of average devs! Just because something is easy technically doesn't mean it is easy politically. You can be "right" about something but still struggle to get others to play along. React predefines the rules and it is validated by a major tech company so people are apt to play along.
