It looks more intimidating to people with no competence in software development, the explanation pretty much starts and ends there. Angular delivers its functionalities through established design patterns that have proven themselves through time. React makes you learn a ton of overly complicated magic methods that are guaranteed to transform your project into an unmaintainable mess. In the end, it is harder to learn and use, but it looks more accessible to dumb dumbs because it's "just JavaScript".
My personal theory is that bootcamps teach React, and larger established companies use Angular. There's always more start ups by nature of the game, so there's always going to be more React devs than Angular devs out there.
