I understand your point but to be fair, if we cherry pick all the terminology from React it also looks bad: JSX, components, props, context, error boundaries, forwarding refs, fragments, higher-order components, container. Once you add in concepts from the other libraries commonly used with React like mobx or redux I think the comparison isn't as clearcut.
