AKA: how to end up with your very own framework, that’s not as good as this other “horrible, overhyped” framework and you have to do absolutely everything yourself because nothing works with it. React fills a need and it’s features are bourne of real world necessity. Even if you don’t care for it, it’s interesting because the lion’s share of libraries are built to work with it these days and it’s backed by a company that will keep it going. It might not be the best way to fill a specific need, but it’s a good general tool.
