Yeah, how would Facebook secure talent for itself on the basis of React if everyone else is also using React? Twitter started using React very early on, and Twitter is one of Facebook's biggest social media rivals. Facebook also made no money from React. They developed it because it solved problems for them internally on a complex code base. I've also never seen the original team (Jordan Walke / Pete Hunt) hit the paid course or YouTube influencer circuit. Angular on the other hand, was barely used internally within Google. Most Google products at the time used Closure, their heavy handed JS tooling system (with its custom compiler): https://developers.google.com/closure/library https://developers.google.com/closure/library
