No, but it's primarily because Meta has their own server infrastructure already. RSCs are essentially the React team trying to generalize the data fetching patterns from Meta's infrastructure into React itself so they can be used more broadly.

I wrote an extensive post and did a conference talk earlier this year recapping the overall development history and intent of RSCs, as best as I understand it from a mostly-external perspective:

So contrary to all other changes, this one was not done for Facebook to use. What was the reason behind RSC then?
