Yes, there's a reason I specified "product openness". React isn't a product and never could have been, so while I'm grateful to them for releasing it open source it doesn't really represent the same kind of play as Threads or Llama.
They’re part of the Rayban partnership. Imho definitely a product.
I feel like thats a pretty strong distinction.
If you are a user, what feature is react giving you? Pre and post react, Facebook is largely the same to a user.
Pre and post graphql, Facebook is also the same.
To the user, neither of those are expressed as features.
Llama / Meta AI is a feature that changes how a user interacts with the system. When it was added, it’s noticeable. If it were to be taken away it would be noticeable. Nobody was boycotting react.
That is the difference between an implementation detail and a product/feature.
