While the patent clause is part of the issue, the WP leadership has been given a lot of backlash for their choice of React. It is (rightfully) seen by many as overly complicated and not a great fit for the WP admin panel. When you combine this with a lot of uncertainty over the upcoming Gutenberg editor, I feel it's good to take a step back to evaluate options, but am also afraid of Gutenberg not shipping, which would be disastrous for WP since the current TinyMCE editor badly needs an overhaul.
