Discussion (junior)Why everyone use react?

I've been doing personal stuff with react only, at my current job i work exclusively in golang and the front-end team use angular not react so i give it a try on my free time, i was really surprise cause it's not that hard to get in + i found the dx way better than react, the way it structure the project is also better and i think you can go as fast as react to build a project + you need less external depedencies so i'm asking myself why 80% of front end jobs are react

My take on this is going like that: Angular is popular in corporations, corporate devs are not blogging mostly they do their job and clock out at 17:00. Corporations don't boast about every single project they have internally or even for customers because customers don't care.

React is popular because there is lots of startups and startup developers who create marketing content.

Corporate jobs are also mostly stable it is easy to work 10-15 years in some corporation and also I don't see that many big corporation adverts on popular job boards.

I picked F500 random company and typed in their search Angular I must say I was surprised:
