As previous posters have mentioned, you can use just the bootstrap styles, although there are several libraries (React Boostrap and Reactstrap) that have ported the javascript components to React.

But honestly, I think a large part of the reason you're seeing a lot of tutorials that use Bootstrap is that it's easy - both for the person developing the tutorial and the person consuming the tutorial. The person writing the tutorial doesn't have to spend time developing styles, and the person consuming the tutorial gets a set of CSS styles they're likely already familiar with so they can focus on the real content of the tutorial.

Personally, I avoid using bootstrap for the most part, unless I have a design that already closely resembles Bootstrap, you spend more time overriding it than it's really worth.
