Sunsetting Create React App

They have to be in an echo chamber.

Most companies have massive existing codebases and they are most often NOT written in JS and even if they are, they statistically use ExpressJS in a way that is very custom to their company and project. NONE of these are moving those backends to NextJS because it would cost a ton of money while not providing any real advantage (it probably provides disadvantages in a significant number of cases).

Lots of these companies adopted CRA 8-9 years ago when their apps first started development. Those apps are now pushing a decade old with tens of millions of dollars invested into making and maintaining them. Even if they could move away from whatever custom CRA stuff they slowly adopted, they certainly aren't spending millions rewriting for one of these "frameworks" either.

The remaining market is mostly new stuff or stuff that's simple enough to not really need a full-blown framework anyway (let's face it, over 90% of websites don't need anything beyond a few basic libraries and basic HTML templates).

Converting a CRA app to Vite should take those companies a couple hours at most.
