you know, I've have had the exact same idea floating around my head for a while - why is everyone talking about react when JS isnt even a thing at majority of CS programmes. It's great that JS is everywhere but frontend has become a grey, amorphous blob that no one really knows. And modern JS web frameworks really do feel like a OOP framework - as if some companies had an excess of backend C#/Java/PHP devs and decided they should infact do frontend. When they got there, there were no types, no classes, everything is an object and the realization that frontend tooling is simple but crazy difficult to get good at.
But to be fair, there is some pushback to the complexity - libs like Alpinejs and Svelte are a joy to work with because they try to keep it as simple and magicless as possible. So there is hope.
At least until I see someone build a landing page with npx create-reac-app
