This benchmark is too simplified to be meaningful. The choice of a framework is rarely based on speed alone, it factors in other elements like the user's domain knowledge, long term maintainability and the framework's track record itself w.r.t security and development of features.
In this regard alone, it will make a lot of sense to spend extra $2 and 2 mins to trade off for a long-term maintainable codebase and code you can reason about than just something made quickly just to get it deployed fast.
In my personal use case, that would be Svelte 5 for me and I'm sure it will be something else for everyone.

Angular sucks, I always knew it, and now we have some data that it’s broken even for agents. I’m not surprised
I suspect that results would be different if the app was a bunch of boring forms with complex validation rules, which is often encountered in jobslop.
Not necessarily that Angular would win that, but I imagine that it would at least significantly shuffle the order.
