Some points are interesting some are just too biased IMO.

A simple example you talk about the number of people still in 2G but if your market for your app is in a developed country than that is a point which has no value.

Talking about the goal of the app well the issue with React is people now want to use it for everything and anything which beats the purpose. Using React for a simple portfolio website might not be the best. However for live data which needs to be displayed it is much more suited. Some cases React is perfect for the job and other times its not. That is the role of a spec analysis to define the needs of a project.

Expensive? I'm sorry but I have to disagree! You can whip up a simple free tier server on amazon (free for a year) and deploy your react app there. You can then easily migrate to another server the next year. There are many other ways to have cheap hosting.

Technically everything goes against the web as originally it was made for the military

"These People" So what? React is open source if you are afraid their is something stealing all your data nothing stops you from going in the source and just changing it. React might have been created by facebook however there are many individuals who also contributed to the development since it is open source.
