Hm partially agree, but not completely ... sure, VanillaJS is an important foundation to master, but if you then want to get good at React (and for good reasons, e.g. because the job market for React devs is huge and booming), well that's a whole new different world, you'll again have to climb a big mountain ...
The basics of React are simple but when you reach the stage where you need to know all of these prototypical 'patterns' (HOCs, render props, hooks, context, suspend, and so on), and when to use Redux (and when not), with all of its countless variations (thunks, sagas, whatnot) and 'best practices' ... welcome to a brave new world - React, simple to learn, difficult to master :-)
I just want to make the point that, yes, VanillaJS is important, but A Knowledgeable JS Programmer does not automatically A React Guru make ... it requires substantial extra effort.
