This is not a real criteria for choosing anything. You can say the exact same thing about ASP.NET WebForms, MySQL, MSMQ or pretty much anything that was popular at any point in time. If you're only looking for "success" stories, you're not doing due diligence as an engineer. Who defines "success" anyway? The same person who chose React, Spark and Kafka in the first place and whose salary is directly proportional to how hyped-up those technologies currently are?
