Reasons that people were forced to move from Elm to something else?

after years of elm, I am still unsure how to make something of good quality that serves the purpose of a component library. Even if it isn’t true, React still feels ideal for building a set of UI tools

Could you elaborate on that? What is the main advantage of React here? One of the more obvious advantages of Elm seems to be the ability to create reusable elements with extreme flexibility. Is the problem that you need to use Html.map and Cmd.map and hook up everything to the app’s main update function?
