I suspected that too, but I do not know enough about these reactive frameworks to be 100% sure. But as a user of such apps, it is absolutely frustrating.
Reactive libraries/frameworks don't explicitly make this worse or better, except their presence implies a high chance of dynamic loading and, therefore, more opportunity for bad design. In addition most component libraries fail to communicate /who/ needs to size a component and if it is ever dynamic. It really doesn't help that most 'official' examples fail to resolve these issues.
