Changing technologies is fraught. It's expensive - it can cost a million dollars or more. And, as the saying goes, "many a slip between cup and lip." I'm currently doing free "beta testing" for a company whose products I use; it switched from Angular to React. (It gives me credit toward purchases in exchange for my testing, and to obviate the inconvenience of the various malfunctions.) It's been a horror show of nonfunctional or dysfunctional interfaces and apps. I can't imagine the company isn't bleeding money - both paying the development costs of fixing the problems, and losing sales because of poor performance. This prospect is what ties companies to a technology long after the rest of the world has moved on.
