Media hosting source or the framework

Does the framework explain the video and audio media source difference?

Almost every site with CDN-hosted media video and audio media source is a React site, and almost every React site has CDN-hosted media video and audio media source, so the data can't tell CDN-hosted media video and audio media source and React apart.
