*"no one ever got fired for choosing React"* is, AFAICT, not true today, and never has been. I've witnessed entire teams get flushed and VPs get unceremoniously booted on the other side of grand React redesigns tanking revenue and conversions. None of those folks talk publicly about how it went down because doing so would simultaneously devalue the thing they've invested in and hurt their own employability within that world. And so we bumble on, omerta in tact.
