You're spot on. This doesn't seem like something built to actually build games. The reasoning here seems almost backwards.
This seems like shoehorning technology where it needn't be. Instead of approaching the problem from the perspective of, "I'd like to build games," it was approached from, "I'd like to use React," followed by, "... and build a game." Canvas / WebGL are far, far better suited.
As somebody who started with game development in Visual Basic, it reminds me of the first game I made on a VB form, moving pictures around over the default grey background. My eyes were opened to the DirectX APIs shortly thereafter, realizing I should scrap pretty much everything I'd built.
That said --- all innovation and experimentation is great. I'm sure the author worked very hard and I'd be interested to see what games they've built with it (that would certainly be more convincing than a README)!
Edit: Found a demo in the other comments. Neat-o. :)
