I also think not many devs have tried to work with web components and that likely explains its current lack of popularity. Many mid-level devs are not even aware of its existence or they mistakenly think of it as some low-level tech meant only for framework engineers or deep system engineering type people.
That said, having taught some introductory web development courses in the past few years, I sense that new devs entering the industry are interested in simpler solutions and not particularly keen to get into React. The React learning curve is much steeper than it once was now that it has so meany features and the benefits are not so clear to someone who is starting from scratch.
