Web Components are directly implemented by browsers so you don’t need a “Web Components library”. So yes they are inherently better because they work in every application and every framework. This universal compatibility and better reliability makes Web Components a better choice today for creating reusable components, than React.

I mean a collections of components like Polymer. Unless you plan on maintaining everything yourself, both React and Web Components share the same problem here.

You can mix and match any and all frameworks and Web Components if you try want. And again: React and Web Components mostly solve different problems. One isn’t going to directly cannibalise the other. You can use both.
