To be fair to React, I think that's because it's actually a really nice library.
It certainly has its fair share of warts and gotchas, but I've been around long enough to have used several of the contenders in a prod env - Backbone & Marionette, Angular (both the original AngularJS as well as Angular 7 more recently), Ember, all the way back to just native js and jquery back in the day.
React with styled-components and typescript is the happiest I've been on the front-end in a long time.
I've been meaning to do a dive into Svelte, but I haven't found the time over the past few months - Would love to try using it for a small production tool to get a feel for it.
and vue was 3rd. but that's besides the point. my point is svelte has an advantage in such metrics as anyone who is slightly less than enthusiastic would ignore it and move on.
as such, it won't remain constant as svelte community grows
