React Bias
The juxtaposition of The HTTP Archive’s analysis and The State of JS 2020 Survey results suggest that a disproportionately small—yet exceedingly vocal minority—of white male developers advocate strongly for React, and by extension, a development experience that favors thick client/thin server architectures which are given to poor performance in adverse conditions. Such conditions are less likely to be experienced by white male developers themselves, therefore reaffirming and reflecting their own biases in their work.

I still haven’t encountered a project that’d be better/faster/cheaper if I used React to build it, maybe it’ll happen one day, who knows adactio.com/links/17763

so that thick client/thin server architecture is mainly suggested by rich, white guys with powerful notebooks? Is that the bias mentioned?
