Facebook offers an opinionated, production ready, battle tested framework for bootstrapping a modern React application with tooling/batteries included (with dependencies automatically maintained if you need to version bump to latest via react-scripts as a magical dependency).

Unless you’re doing something so completely customised (and even then, ejecting from CRA is a blessed path), why WOULND’T you use CRA?

It's worth noting that CRA is pretty complicated. My home-rolled webpack configs are significantly simpler than ejected CRA apps. If you're going to be making significant changes to the configs it's going to be a lot easier with a custom project.
