I don't get it. Lets say that you have a well formed team, then you have a designer. A designer is who does the UI but know or care so little about programming. With React, the UI is practically JSX that very few people know (in comparison with html) and what we will get instead?, the result is the same html that it tries to avoid.

JSX is very close to HTML. Maybe the issue is expecting designers who have zero dev skills to build front ends in a time of responsive design and rich JS interfaces. You wouldn't hire a print designer with no Photoshop experience to design a site, and you shouldn't hire a graphic designer with no web dev skills to build front ends. If you're team is really well formed, you might have an experienced graphic designer, a UX expert, and a front end developer who does the actual building as well as making day-to-day design decisions. The design/interface experts would work at a higher level of creating an overarching design language and UX guidelines.
Only in the first world clients pay enough for such a team to make a living. Not a case for other countries.
"Lets say that you have a well formed team"
Aaaand you've just just 90% of projects...
Not sure what your concern is, JSX is extremely simple to pick up with a cursory knowledge of HTML and Javascript.
I actually was thinking it was a non-issue until I saw a designer actually struggle with working with JSX for doing some animation (I had to help him out), and the designer had some knowledge of JS.
