react prioritizes correctness over performance. performance is not everything.

So do every other popular framework, not sure what your point is there. Performance is the major factor for apps & websites.

Not hating on React, Vue or Angular but it's time to move on or change the internals. They have popularized component based development. Backbone, underscore and friends did it before them but when React & others came into existence, everyone noticed the benefits and made the switch. Now, we have better frameworks & tools than React, Vue, Angular, etc so it's time to move on and adapt those. In future, if something better than svelte comes up then as a web community we should promote them.

Faster, performant & accessible web is what we should push towards.
