To be fair it took me couple of days to learn the basics of react. But I had years of programming experience, including other frontend frameworks like angular, angularjs, knockoutjs etc.
Eh, lots of stuff can be easy to learn, difficult to master.
Most languages only take a few minutes to do a "hello world" app.
When you announce you're comfortable with something, it probably depends on the scale of the apps you're used to working on.
So a junior dev could very well feel they've learned something like react after two days of cramming.
This is a good point imo. They just don't know the breadth of it yet. Being experienced also means getting a grasp of the amount of stuff you don't yet know.
