alt Hacker Newswell that's any framework with vdom, the GC of web frameworks, so I'd imagine it's also a problem with vue etc..
I don't understand though why performance (I.e. using it properly) is not a consideration with these companies that are valued above $100 billion
like, do these poor pitiful big tech companies only have the resources to do so when they hit the 2 trillion mark or something?

They have no real competitors, so anything that makes the user even stickier and more likely to spend money (LinkedIn Premium or whatever LinkedIn sells to businesses) takes priority over any improvements.
It's not a problem with vue or svelte because they are, ironically, reactive. React greedily rerenders.
It's also not a problem with the react compiler.
Nobody gets promoted for improving web app performance.
Vue uses signals for reactivity now and has for years. Alien signals was discovered by a Vue contributor. Vue 3.6 (now in alpha/beta?) will ship a version that is essentially a Vue flavored Svelte with extreme fine grained reactivity based on a custom compiler step.
One of the reasons Vue has such a loyal community is because the framework continues to improve performance without forcing you to adopt new syntax every 18 months because the framework authors got bored.
