Why is React needed to display static HTML?

It's not?

But that being said I'm not sure this is static HTML either. You're going to need someway to parse and display that sheet data. Even if its server rendered as static HTML React isn't a bad way to go.

Sheet is retrieved and parsed client-side. React lets me iterate faster. I also use Next.js, so where possible I can do server-side rendering before sending the rendered bits down the wire.
