Directly from your link:<p>&quot;Note:
The programming models of the two component systems (web components vs. react components) differ in that web components often expose an imperative API (for instance, a video web component might expose play() and pause() functions). To the extent that web components are declarative functions of their attributes, they should work, but to access the imperative APIs of a web component, you will need to attach a ref to the component and interact with the DOM node directly. If you are using third-party web components, the recommended solution is to write a React component that behaves as a wrapper for your web component.
At this time, events emitted by a web component may not properly propagate through a React render tree. You will need to manually attach event handlers to handle these events within your React components.&quot;<p>It&#x27;s worse than that, though. Web components that maintain their own state can be randomly squashed by React&#x27;s virtual-DOM diffing algorithm because of the way elements are held in memory. They are just not compatible, and the React Core team has made no apologies about not agreeing with the overall concept of Web Components.
