Hmm, my instinct tells me to defend myself, but honestly, you are basically right. I meant to say "not everything needs React/...", but my comment accidentally defended jQuery instead. One cannot really recommend anymore to start developing with jQuery, that's true. However, I wouldn't necessarily urge existing websites to move away from it either, it's not really that nasty. In that regard, my previous comment was confusing. jQuery kinda is outdated, but not dangerously so. There are some footguns, like using selectors with string interpolation with unsafe input (which yeeaars ago could lead to HTML injection, but even now, unsafe input might contain unexpected commas), but I wouldn't trust the same devs who make those mistakes to make less mistakes with e.g. Angular.
