Plan probably is around a hosted apps model where apps can be embedded in iframes or similar. Vercel to fly, everyone is basically selling a flavour of Heroku with a desirable outcome of lower maintenance overhead. But yes, it is a tradeoff and the abstractions underneath are leaky. It is not just React but NextJS and then the whole NodeJS ecosystem which is surely one of the most challenging ones. That client/web part could have been tackled by writing a micro library in pure JS with no transpilers of any sort - and probably they might do it in future not sure how, but something like Brython[0] could be interesting.
