God, do you remember that presentation Google gave when they introduced Angular 2.0? I think it was December 2015. It was sooo bad that in my eyes it killed Angular's momentum almost completely. I am surprised that it is still around actually. Can't find it anywhere though. Google must've censored it of the internet :)
I joined a consultancy a few years ago and Angular is the de facto standard at most enterprises we work for; I'm as surprised as you are.
Angular has C# and Java vibes, especially with frameworks like Spring. React is on the other side of that spectrum.
Angular is super used across the industry.
It's more common on consultancy than product companies.
And that's probably a product of different incentives.
Consultancy is getting paid for doing things. Product company is getting paid for getting things done.
