Cynically, aren’t corporate blub languages like Java and Go kind of built on the same notion? That is, they intentionally limit the amount of complexity possible so that there is a low ceiling for mastery and workers are interchangeable.

The bar for React and Java are very different.

Before you mention that one is a UI library and the other is a programming language: that's my point.

There are a lot of FE devs that work backwards from React to JS/TS.

They're used in that fashion, yes.
