The type of developers that would go with <div> in such cases are also those that know very, extremely little about semantic HTML and its purpose. Then if one is challenged about using React or other heavy-JS framework when you don't really have to, the discussion will be met with utter even surprise that someone out there is actually not using React.

The web is darn simple, but we are the place where it is made extremely over engineered and expensive for both companies (salaries and 2-3x more staff needed than necessary because of the bloat) and users of their products (in terms of payloads).

And yet JS-heavy frameworks seems to have the best job market.

Everything seems to be upside down.
