Not all UIs converge to a React like requirement. For a lot of use cases React is over-engineering but the profession just lacks the balls to use something simpler, like htmx for example.

Sure, and for those cases I’d rather tell the agent to use htmx instead of something hand-rolled.

Core react is fairly simple, I would have no problem using it for almost everything. The overengineering usually comes at a layer on top.
