You will find a lot more support for React troubleshooting since there are simply more people using it. That is a major selling point, and barebones React with a simple UI framework like Material/Tailwind can be pretty simple (if simplicity is your thing). As to why the OP you referenced went overboard, that has more to do with the old adage of ‘life is not complicated, people are’.

If you think about how mundane making web apps can actually become, it’s no surprise developer histrionics found a way of creating amalgamations.
