Frameworks are for ease of development and coding. using react may not be mandatory but it will help you have well organized and faster website than those with pure HTML,CSS and vanilla javascript. at the end of my comment you are right tho.

The idea that a react application will necessarily be faster than one written in plain javascript seems quite absurd to me. There's no magic behind react; it's ultimately still just javascript and any competent developer will be able to write an application without a framework that's as fast and even faster given enough time. Development speed is the interesting measurement here, not application performance.

Absolutely agree with you.Not only this but also the fact react adds a sense of scalability to your applications/sites.So you can grow easily using this frameworks without any hassle.Plus there are thousands of developers already building more and more packages and functionalities for react so it becomes a go-to stop for many developers.

In terms of faster, I am still of the opinion that your plain css, html and J's will perform better
