But how are devs reinventing the wheel any less? You can assert that, but is it true? How?

There's incredible churn and increasing complexity in front end development. Especially in the places that most impact end users.

Over the last 6 years a majority of products have probably been rewritten three times to jump on the bandwagon of the current most popular front end framework. Or if not rewritten most devs have probably worked on new products adopting each one.

This means the GUI (modals, dropdowns, accordions, typeaheads, etc) has been recreated in each of those frameworks each time. Has the end users' experiences with those rewritten components improved? Really, honestly changed for the better?
