React and other framework are for Web Apps, HTML, CSS, and general JS is for a website. People have a tendency to conflict the two but they serve different purposes and act differently depending on the situation. So, I agree websites shouldn't use React, etc.... but web apps should.
I agree it is often hard to know where that line is. I work in a corporate environment where most software is web applications rather than websites. However, I'm not sure that the two are necessarily miles apart. It does depend on the context of course but there are many applications I see that would benefit from alternative choices - more lightweight libraries or good use of native browser APIs.
You aren't wrong, embracing native api would be generally best, but there is an easy way to identify a web app and a website, and it's all based on how interactive the site is. A website is a showcase of digital presence while a web app is an interactive application built on web technologies. A website can be very interactive but if the main goal is to showcase a companies digital presence then it is a website.
