What does the number of commits have to do with anything? That doesn’t imply any kind of quality, right? Also, have you taken a look at the source code for Redux let’s say? It’s an extremely small library. Not exaggerating, it’s on the order of 1,000 LOC. You don’t think someone could produce that? I would agree with what you’re saying if you were talking about something like Postgres, which is enormous and complex. These state management libraries are very very simple (I’ve implemented small versions of them many times), and really just encourage a pattern in the code. They’re not operating systems unto themselves.

Unless you want to consider all those people who contributed as not really smart for spending their time on something that a single person can easily do along the way in their project, I'm not sure why you would suggest doing so as a better alternative. There are numerous other discussions on whether use of a state management library is needed ever, or at least in some projects. As someone who doesn't usually actually need it, I can understand the motivation for less people to use it until they know enough to realize they need it, but also don't understand people who ignore valid needs of larger teams and projects where something like Redux makes a lot of difference and is necessary. Again, unless those people consider themselves and their projects to be the biggest and most complex that can ever be, which is very likely to be false.
