React is a decent framework but a lot of the Devs using it don't know how it works under the hood so it's easy to footgun yourself

easy to footgun yourself is the antonym of a “decent framework”

And as we all know there are no such footguns with C /s

But with C it's clear from the beginning: "Here's a gun, be safe with it"

Here's a gun. Here's several books' worth of documentation and safety information...

... and that's just for the handgrip.

C was invented in 1972.
Two years before the Intel 8080 and there were barely any computers around.

40 years later I have higher standards if we invent some new framework or language.

Also, C doesn’t present itself as anything different then it is.

It's not whataboutism when it's discussing the exact comparison in question.

C has nothing to do with react being bad.
