The reason is because the problems that surface at scale are difficult to illustrate in a comparison blog, which is the foundation for all the rants against redux. Redux is not complex, contrary to popular belief. The core code can be written in 100 LoC. The real downside to redux is not the boilerplate that is required to set it up or the number of concepts to learn, instead it’s how easy it is to do it incorrectly. The redux maintainers have spent the last few years not making changes to the core library, but figuring out conventions and helper libraries to make it more clear what you should (eg normalize state) and should not (put every piece of state) in your redux store. No offense but the spec exercise seems like a waste of both of our time. No amount of talking about an app can illustrate the code organization at scale.
