I wish people would just stop pointing this out. While technically true when people refer to React they're referring to the canonical stack that people use (i.e. + Redux).

I don't think that makes a difference. I can take a scalpel to my Redux code without really worrying about how it affects my React code.

This is why I use React + Redux with some Webpack magic -- everything is encapsulated and composable from the ground up.
