Interesting perspective. I think rather than being solely a React issue I think it’s a SPA issue. Single Page Apps are the reason the web doesn’t behave like the web anymore.
Another issue is using frameworks for the sake of using frameworks. The first thing that should be considered before starting any project is who are the users, where are they and what are we giving them. answering these questions help identify the correct stack.
You can write performant react. So again I think the issue is people not considering performance as a first class citizen and instead it’s become a “nice to have” and here is where users with poor connections or less powerful devices suffer most.
I agree, you can implement conditional bundle loading for separate parts of the app, lazy load data or load in background, same as gatsby loads on link hover so you have lazy loading and fast response.
It sadly often ends up with 'just ship it' mentality from management because numbers are important, not users. If you work in bad company that is.
