What makes React complex is that your simple example pulls in 100KB of code and entire layers like the virtual DOM which increase the memory and CPU requirements while adding significant new concepts a developer has to learn to be productiv

That’s exactly why they tried to claim there’s a terrorist “Antifa” group: since there’s no such organization or defining principles, there’s a lot of gray area to investigate anyone they find politically incorrect.
