The result is an extremely successful company.

We are talking specifically about the front-end, it was already successful in 2012 with basic AJAX and vanilla JS.

Successful it might have been, but I heard it was a sea of pain to support and develop.
One-way bindings and isolation of effects help a lot.

Usenet was also already successful in the 80s.

Come on we are talking 2012, have a look at its history, nearly all major features already existed at the time. Of course the UI would be a bit dated but it’s irrelevant as it has nothing to do with the JS tooling.
The added value of all of that is dubious when you see the result from the creators themselves. The analogy "too many chefs in the kitchen" is pretty spot on. The front-end UI is not the back-end, it doesn't scale with the number of users, so when too many smart engineers work on it you see the result.
