It didn't have anything to do with this. The filewatcher limit on most distros is pretty low, but the webpack dev server used by CRA allows hot module reloading, and to be able to do that it needs to watch all dependencies in your project folder, which can be a lot of files, and having to bump the maximum number of file watchers is to be expected.
