That's true of every language. It's the software developers job to build the architecture.
I am an advocate for frameworks in commercial projects, for ease of knowledge sharing, speeding up onboarding and having a strong architectural philosophy built in. But we can't forget that we are the makers, we make the frameworks. React and friends are Javascript, anything they can do we can do too.
I am happy to use them for work. But I find all frontend frameworks too tooling heavy and full of arbitrary details you have to learn once and promptly forget. In my personal projects I have a simple architecture I use to organise my code in vanilla JS, no tooling and it's simplicity lends well to small projects sprinkled with only some dynamic UI.
