Sorry to spoil but the problem was not react. The problem was clearly this excerpt because we all know which country it was.
Shipping tens of megabytes per web page is impolite, if not outright disrespectful to users.

Remix is not that popular. I don't think attributing this to remix is accurate. Next.js quite possibly.

(Although it's not really a joke, it's pretty amazing how many professional web developers these days don't know how to use forms without JavaScript.)

I'd be curious to see the stats on how often Next.js users lean into the server component model that makes the frontend fast. My anecdotal experience is that it's an afterthought for many. By comparison, Astro (as mentioned by the author) makes you think about this stuff upfront via opt-in rather than opt-out. It's a wonderful framework.
