that is your opinion, and is irrelevant to the choice. practically, vercel is a company which is heavily invested in react and react's future, so, they need to be present.

moreover, this entire initiative looks like a way to reduce vercel's influence, so if you want to be mad, then be mad in 5 yrs, not now.



Like Microsoft was invested in Web standards in the ie6 days... for their own interests. To own it.


Like chrome is doing nowadays

…people paying for react.

Which is fair, but do we have bend knee and suggest they have the best interests of the react ecosystem at heart? They don’t.

They are invested in: people using next.js and hosting it on vercel.

If that’s not what you’re doing, their interests probably don’t align with yours.


It is also my opinion that 5 years from now Vercel will be out of business and their customers will have moved on the next hype driven VC cash laundry.
