For example, React isn’t an MVC framework. It’s a library. It allows rendering DOM declaratively based upon a state/props.

jQuery just changes the DOM. It gets very difficult to keep the DOM in sync with the JavaScript backed data when there’s multiple moving parts.

Again I don't understand this argument. What's difficult about it? People have been doing it with win forms for well over a decade now.

And yet it's recognized as a problem there, too, and one of the more recent solutions is state management libraries inspired by those used in Web apps, e.g., there are fairly direct copies/adaptations of React and Redux for .NET specifically to address this issue.
