If I summarize what React is all about then I would say : two-way binding. Devs don't want to mess with all that mapping of UI element to Model object and React does that for them.
It was really the same thing with Angular.

I never did go back to Angular after breaking changes so I don't know much about modern Angular.
I'm also not sure why people would choose Angular or React.
I much prefer ASP.NET MVC and Razor and especially now with ASP.NET Core.
But i'm sure React devs will chime in and tell me it's not just about two-way binding.

Also, the way that React (and Angular) seemlessly bind your Model object (and collections of Model objects) to the HTML DOM elements is quite amazing and the first time you do that with just a couple lines of code you will be amazed -- I was anyways.
