If React won, it was precisely because it was not "overbuilt."
It was simpler (deliberately) than Backbone, Angular, Vue, Svelte, etc.
You can implement a React clone in a few hundred lines, a la Preact.

React won by being early and different. Svelte came out three years after React and got (unfortunately) steamrolled.
One is that the implementation is very simple/transparent, e.g. C.
The second is that it allows users to have very simple code, e.g. Python.
React is mostly the first with a bit of the second. Svelte is the reverse.
