*"But our team knows React..."*
THAT IS NOT A THING. They don't know "React", they're on a continual treadmill[1] of React sub-variants, bundler configuration micro-languages, and one-off plugin amalgamations.
THERE IS NO INDUSTRY STANDARD REACT STACK. IT DOES NOT EXIST OUTSIDE OF TOYS.
And if your website is a toy, why would you let that nonsense anywhere *near* the door when simpler, cheaper options have always existed?

  The Frontend Treadmill
  A lot of frontend teams are very convinced that rewriting their frontend will lead to the promised land. And I am the bearer of bad tidings. If you are building a product that you hope has longevity, your frontend framework is the least interesting technical decision for you to make. And all of the time you spend arguing about it is wasted energy. I will die on this hill.
