Yeah, I still don't understand a lot of the architecture choices behind the new compiler, including why the new compiler isn't mostly just a set of eslint suggestions with auto-fixes. I've seen the blog posts trying to explain it, but they don't seem to answer my questions. But then I also haven't done enough direct React work recently enough to have need of or actually tried to use the new compiler, so maybe I am just asking the wrong questions.
