Definitely agree that a good database solves far more problems than it introduces.
I think the web technology and the kits that sit on it are rather obtuse because they really are swimming against the tide. I commented about VB a few weeks ago and how much better the paradigm was some 30 years ago. But that was a purpose-built tool for programming a purpose-built GUI API. React et al. are still contending with turning typesetting into general purpose software. Despite that, react does a pretty good job.
It's also about know-how. I can go get a programmer literally anywhere that can built something with react, so even problems that can be solved without are going to be solved with it.
No complaints from me, really. Everything is a little excessive. I just came across an app to order ice. I can't imagine that's really making anyone's life easier, except for maybe its developer.
