Not trying to argue here, but don't you think for a simple static SPA, using React and creating components is too much overhead ? Why not just create the good-ol' html pages with css and js ?
I always take into account something I call as a effort-to-gain ratio. i.e.- If I have to give a certain amount of effort, I need to see proportional gain. I just don't see a proportional gain with using React in static SPAs.
But I get your point too. At a certain point when you are too familiar with a certain style of development, its hard to let it go.
