Folly is more like an addition to the standard library. For that sort of library, you want parts to be deprecated over time as the language's standard library grows. React has no place in a standard library; it's more of a framework.

That you simply ignore the fact that C++ projects generally do prefer to not build from any "framework".

Framework in JS, is just similar to a more abstracted library in C++.

In the whole stack (or spectrum) of machine, language, application, C++'s design philosophy naturally encourage things like Folly and Absl. Just like JS encourages React, VUE etc.
