Time to eat some much needed humble pie Rodolfo; you want to push your point of view so hard...
Redux is absolutely not event sourcing (I used both extensively)
The only thing in common is that there are "events", something extremely common and found in pretty much all codebases (and the dreaded DOM)

No frontend keep all the events from last week around for the logged user, it's slow enough as it is. If you don't keep all the events, then it's not sourcing, just event driven (like almost all UI paradigms from the last decades)
Trying to find similarities between very different architectures might help you learn new things, but there's not point pushing this tool down people's throat.
