I've had enough experience with 10-person teams trying to synchronize code for a large UI to think otherwise.
Trying to do that with "just HTML, CSS & JS" either dooms the project or ends up with the team implementing their own flavor of React (or something else) to standardized complicated state update in a modular fashion that allows sharing code.
Not everyone needs React, but when you do, it's nice not to have to reinvent the wheel.

What do you think is a large UI? Can you give me an example?

Facebook is one. So is Google Cloud's dashboard. Basically anything where a single UI will be serving multiple separable concerns (that could be handed to multiple separate teams in a large org).
Of what commercial use are the funny, animating widgets? At this point frameworks like React exist just to generate employment for software developers, like the Federal reserve exists for economists.
