Isn't it actually the opposite? Svelte code is compiled to plain JS whereas React has a large runtime.

Nah, JSX also gets converted to Javascript. The difference is in that the React runtime re-renders whole components every time something changes, and Svelte is more granular about it even during the compilation step.
