To increase performance on many of Netflix's TV or Console based UI's they have their own rendering engine they're using instead of the manufacturer's browser engine. This means any of React's "speed" improvements are a moot point so instead they use it because of its simplicity for UI layouts. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eNC0mRYGWgc

Along that line of thinking, Flipboard created React Canvas, which renders directly into a <canvas> tag, bypassing a lot of the DOM:
