React is great though, why not just use that?

React is great if all your frontend is React. Using it to create reusable components to sprinkle in your static HTML is overkill, and anyway it does not work with LiveView and LiveView is pretty cool.

IMO React has a good data model and solid foundation, but the whole ecosystem it's relying upon is bad. I'm not a fan.

React supports server side rendering.
