This is a great point, and a sword I fell on at my previous employer. React is great for stateful web apps - a blog or a news site have some state, but aren't really that state heavy. Especially when you have a news site getting millions of views, you simply can't afford 1 second on page load to download, parse, and eval React and your data model for little gain. I've seen devs that are so infatuated with React and "isomorphism" that they will use it as a hammer for every screw they come across.
