No they are implementing Functional Reactive Programming, it isn't the same thing, even though common folks would say React.

Isn't FRP more like RxJS/CycleJS?
If you ask the people who work on any of those frameworks I mentioned, they'll tell you they're taking the React style and applying it to their platforms.
I wouldn't say Compose UI/Flutter/SwiftUI are "implementing React", but if your point is that other platforms have better solutions than JSX (plus all the bloat React adds to applications), I absolutely agree.
