Ok, I’ll say it: if web components need React’s support to be successful, maybe that says more about WC’s design than any supposed nefarious intent from the React team.

React doesn't support basic DOM APIs, full stop.

Web components didn't invent addEventListener or properties. They're low level basics that existed before React. React doesn't support them and it's really all on React and not web components.

React will expose raw dom nodes anytime you ask it to, so I think I’m missing your point. Can you elaborate?

How do you set an arbitrary property or add an arbitrary event listener to an element in JSX?

Ah - you mean like non-standard events or attributes? Yeah I understand what you’re saying now. It’s never come up for me, so I don’t know the details, but I at least understand you now. Thanks for clarifying.
