Most of the frameworks you mention above are 5+ years old. Back when jQuery was the THE THING to know.
In any case, my critique is not levied against MVC the pattern, rather, how it is manifest. One can logically follow MVC without the physical separation of concerns (files). It's a continuum: You start by defining your state, view, and orchestration all in the same place. Should any one piece of the above suddenly need to be reused elsewhere, you then abstract as necessary.
I was pushing back against the idea that "inlining" CSS/JS with HTML is poor practice. What React achieves, because it demands you inline JS (and CSS if you want) with the HTML, is a simple, declarative development paradigm. It's like reading a function. No procedural ad-hoc `let el = document.querySelector('#id')` garbage getting in the way. The behavior is with the component, not around the component. In many ways, this is how OOP was supposed to work.
