> most of your codebase becomes CSS
I dont understand how you're making this claim with a straight face. You're either willfully ignorant, or pretending to be too abstract.
If your understanding on web-development is someone tweaking css values, I think you have a hug gap in your understanding.
You've drank the Apple/Linear/Dieter Ram kool-aid a bit too much, and you think throwing "less is more", "strip it down to the bare minimum" is all emblematic of that.
Good design is about making the complex simple. Not making the simple simple.
The straight face is rooted to numbers:

And the example is a blog. I think a lot of us would agree that React is a bad choice for a blog. But React is also used in a million other applications that need a lot more dynamism than a blog does. The idea that 90% of an app like that would be CSS makes no sense.
Would it make a difference if the example is a single-page application?
