i think the popularity of react (and node) comes down greed. do more with less. a tumorous outgrowth of the "move fast and break things" attitude of early FB development and cargo culture of the tech boom eras. you can have one dev write the front end and most of the server side code too. not only that but they have to handle much of the tooling, testing and debugging. and the learn2code push also was designed to saturate the market with lots of these devs. many of whom lack the background knowledge to understand what they're doing. i seen this job expand through the years from a smaller set of responsibilities to a much larger one where most of your work is only indirectly (and irritatingly) related to what you're actually trying to do.
