Good summary.

About the SEO friendliness of React:

React sees itself as a UI library and not a framework. The reasoning is that it only offers basic UI features out of the box. Programming-model like I would consider it a framework.

Anyway, Next.js and GatsbyJS are seen as the frameworks for the library that React tries to be. They both come with pre-rendered HTML options that are more SEO-friendly. Next.js offers server-side rendering and GatsbyJS offers compile-time rendering.

I think this is also true for Vue.js, which in turn has projects like Nuxt.js and VuePress.
