Name one that gives 100% parity to React in their SDK to write extensions.
Not works in some of the cases and you have to implement fetch calls yourself, or some iframe boilerplate and JS glue, everything they expose in React is fully available in Angular, including field extensions, inline previews, sidebar extensions, the whole lot.
That doesn't change the fact that there is a lot of Angular out there. No one's doubting how useful Next.js may or may not be, it's just a matter of fact that plenty of systems were created before it was available and not everyone has the luxury of rewriting their entire product.
Moving goalposts, the point was about SaaS SDKs giving tier1 support for React and nothing else, thus giving Vercel their current market position.
Invalidating the remark "I can't think of any serious company or project that would use this thing."
Where's the example?
I'll be honest I have never heard of this nor do I understand why it matters. It looks like it's just internal Vercel marketing speak that basically amounts to them desperately trying to build a platform and extract rents off of it.

I think you are confusing React SDK with Vercel SDK.
They are both pushed by the same company, even more so since many React contributors became Vercel employees.
React is designed with Next.js needs in mind nowadays.
Perhaps the newer features of React are but thankfully those bits can be completely ignored.
