Probably just due the network effect of React coming to the scene first, and the cost of change. I've used Web Components nearly exclusively at multiple jobs for 7 years now, so my experience is that they are out there and in use. Had to start using React recently for a job and it feels like a mess in comparison. Too many ways to do things, big black box components that are hard to introspect, compilation is not optional, and poor documentation on some aspects due to not using standards. I'm still struggling to understand "stale closures" and the react component life cycle. It seems to have a lot of baggage.
