You likely don't have the problems that Facebook is trying to resolve with React.
Namely, developing something once and having it work ideally everywhere on the planet (slow network vs. fast network).
Providing users with the best experience possible in their browser regardless of the limitations of their computer and network is a problem every front end developer should be trying to solve.
Very few of us work at the scale of Facebook, but that particular problem isn't a scaling issue.
Suggesting we can ignore the problem of a bad experience for users on slow networks just because we operate at a smaller scale is plain wrong, and anyone making web tech with that attitude is failing the people who have to use the code they write.
