Conways law:

React is a Face Book abstraction leaking out on to the web.

It's good for them. It's a perfect framework (+ graphQL) for there every page is custom in a walled garden environment.

It isnt a good way to build a blog, or a shopping cart. But A mail client in a browser, or a B2B app with a lot of data, A CMS... great places for it!

And it's great for FB too. (as is every other open source tech from a large player). Think about all the money FB saves NOT having to ramp up front end engineers... they get them pre-trained now on their tool.
