> There is very, very little reason to care about optimizing frontend performance for a vast majority of apps. Users just don't care. It doesn't make the company more money.

There’s plenty of users who care, but when the competition is also all slow and heavy they don’t get any choice in the matter.

It's usually not the framework that causes apps/sites to be slow.

Not directly, but when you have devs who only know how to build with the framework and don’t have a grip on what’s going on under the hood or how it all interacts in the browser environment (increasingly common), performance is sure to take a hit.

  It's not React's fault that people either don't know what they're doing, or don't care enough to make their software performant. This is not a new phenomenon, bad/rushed software has always existed.
