React's homepage says "The library for" and "Go full-stack with a framework. React is a library. It lets you put components together, but it doesn’t prescribe how to do routing and data fetching. To build an entire app with React, we recommend a full-stack React framework like Next.js or React Router." and "React is also an architecture. Frameworks that implement it let you..."

React's Wikipedia page says "React ... is a free and open-source front-end JavaScript library", and has no mention of Framework.

Why die on a hill that it "is" something it says it isn't?
