Coming from a website on AOL in the mid 90th till today as head of 500 FE devs for a well-known financial service company, I think this applies mostly to the field of small projects and large companies who treat their apps as small projects.
I love abstractions and I love tools, especially those that need to be invented to help people do better work namely the devs.
I transformed our FE area (ca. 200 devs) into working with a self-developed platform on top of a framework. We rely solely on Angular since 5 years now and never looked back. (Why not React? Try to develop large apps with many, many teams in different countries with different skill sets 24/7: opinionated for the win. React is like C while Angular is more like Java or Python in this case. Great tool, but people are the "problem".)
Results? Highly reusable complex components, a No Code Editor on top of it - and highly motivated FE devs which can work on projects or on the platform, depending on their skillset and motivation to tackle more complex problems.
Why? Because I've been where the author has been many times as a dev and as a Manager this is what I did: Do not repeat the process mistakes over and over again.
