GA also has support from many third party libraries because of the popularity that you can just plug-in and get started with.

e.g.

https://github.com/react-ga/react-ga

https://github.com/angulartics/angulartics2

https://github.com/MatteoGabriele/vue-gtag

Isn't GA itself a third-party JavaScript library that you can just plug-in and get started with?

Why do you need framework specific libraries on top of that?

You don't need framework libraries. The point is, for many frameworks installing GA is just adding one file to your dependencies and entering your UA number. Installing a comparable tool that doesn't have a library involves marginally more friction.
