I have the same hindsight knowledge after using Tensorflow & Polymer 1.0 in production. It almost seems like Google is trying to systemize so many functionality at once it is bound to fail.
Every trade-off is essentially a bet in tech and if I would have had this insight at the decision moment I would have picked PyTorch & React instead.
Lesson learned dont let your opinion of a business model cloud judgement on choices in the stack. Facebook has made some remarkable innovative open source projects that just work for the first mvp launch.
React went against all advise of keeping styling & content separated. PyTorch compiled the graph on the fly while tensorflow required a very specific procedure to define the graph on forehand, in TF 2.0 they caught up with PyTorch.
