I think that there is validity to your points, but I think "Stop using React to make websites" would be a more accurate title / argument. To use one example to illustrate my point: while it's true that users leave websites when load time is slow, this is not (as?) applicable to web applications as usually a user is paying to use a web application because it does something that the user needs to do. In this context, front-loading the download of the javascript optimizes the rest of the user's experience interacting with the app. It's important to pick the correct technology in software development - if you are making a website that relies on SEO type things to be viable, yeah don't use a SPA (React / Angular / Vue), they have slow initial load time, they are poorly indexed by the Google crawler and by other search engines and therefore less likely to have high organic search rankings and there is a steep learning curve in order to do development.
