One of my interview questions is "how do you organize logic and state in a react app?" and about 19/20 candidates put their business logic in their view components. I believe the root of the problem is the ecosystem of terrible react tutorials that are targeted at beginners so can't introduce complex architecture. If you spend some time reading react blogs you'll see that almost all of them put their API requests and business logic inside component lifecycle methods. The flood of bootcamp grads has made hiring competent front end devs nearly impossible (not to slander bootcamp grads; I've met a few that are brilliant).
