This is more like if every company reimplemented core-js... worth a little more examination than "large companies write libraries"

React attempts the re-implement the browser DOM API and its associated UI conventions. That's way more WTF than folly, which is basically jQuery for C++.

React attempts to wrap the browser DOM API and it's conventions in a way that's (for people who use it) easier to reason about, that's kind of like saying Anvil is a WTF because it wraps Vulcan

Also yeah, every reimplementing jquery would be extremely strange and mostly defeat the point of jquery... which is to not have to implement jquery's constructs in Vanilla JS
