You always read how people need to know the basics, and learning React & al. without knowing JS first is useless, so it's easy to believe that most beginners should know this and actually learn JS first, but somehow they still end up skipping that step despite every. single. post. (and/or tutorial) pointing this out.
Probably a mix, though I don't think laziness plays as much of a role as impatience. Many people are probably just eager to learnt he technologies that they can be the most productive with and get a job quickly. Getting paid is nice, after all.
But I don't think that many beginners are intentionally ignoring the advise that they should learn to build stuff without high-level abstractions first; there must be some form of "dark matter" sending them on their way in the wrong direction.
Whether this is the fault of tutorials, boot camps, books, or just internet hype, I cannot tell. But I'd sure love to know what it is, if anybody eventually figures it out.
PS: At least we know it's not school teachers; most of those still think that table layouts are the way to go.

So, what do we think is wrong? Laziness? Impatience? Poor advice? Poor learning materials? All of the above?
