low-overhead in-production profiling/monitoring/management

This is a joke, right? The management overhead for the JVM in production environments is huge. It's really hard to get it right.

When your application is just some views plus some routing - then that would be a fair comparison. But in most real world situations (SPA) it's much more: Form validation, Data Fetching, Unit Testing, Component styling, Translations, Modularization, ...

But you probably mean: the comparison excluded some crucial details.

Exactly. You have to compare these kind of frameworks/libraries in "real world" situations and not just build two subpages and create some simple components to form an opinion. Real world single page applications need much more than just the view layer and a router.

Comparing plain React with Angular and Aurelia is completely useless. You cannot write a big serious application with Form Validation, Data Fetching, Testing, etc, just with React itself. A fair comparison would be to write a whole "real world" project and then see what parts you have to use and learn to be able to write a full React application.
