Fair take, but I also believe we should've thrown out virtualization/windowing entirely. It was of those shiny product-level features that sounds great but ultimately provides little to no value for most applications.
Most of my point is engineer-oriented but I think it also applies at the product level. React allows you to build cool features easily - that doesn't mean every cool idea should be acted upon.
At times this will mean "dumbing-down" design in the name of pragmatism > shininess. YMMV, ad-supported businesses are going to need that infinite scroll... but most don't.
