Maybe this was so in 2013-2015, but React today does a lot of things (module loading, component rendering, basic state management, scheduling, memoisation, caching), and will soon do even more (server components in some custom json format, rendering server). Gone are the days when React was a simple "view library"
React doesn't load modules, you need a bundler for that. It just supports a component type that blocks rendering until a promise containing a component resolves.
