there is always some dusty corner that you haven't ventured into.

Sure, but call() and apply() aren't as esoteric as you make them out to be.

Also my discussion isn't about assessing your personal qualifications - that's simply not my place.

But I'm trying to paint the view of someone who would rather pass over the "right" candidate than hire the "wrong" one.

I've been doing React very heavily now for about 5 years. In fact, it's pretty much all I program in.

Have they been explicit about looking for a React developer?
JavaScript allows for some pivoting between technologies and there are lots of support technologies within the ecosystem that benefit from skills beyond React core.

Interestingly the things that Dan Abramov admits to knowing don't seem to be React centric.
