The Stack Snippet React version is outdated to such an extent that using a CDN link has become mandatory.

Stack Snippets provide React 16.6.3 as highest version.

However;

React 16.6 is a very old minor, 16.14.0 has been around since October 14, 2020
React 17 has been released more than a year ago (October 20, 2020)
React 18 has been released previous month (March 29, 2022)

Since most of the StackOverflow / CodeReview questions are about React Hooks we're kinda force to use a custom CDN link to create snippets.

As suggested in this 2 year old meta question about improving React support:

Can the React version be bumped to include at least a Hooks supported version? (Minimal 16.8)

When you consider that CodeMirror, the editor that drives the snippet function, is five years out of date, I doubt this will happen any time soon. It's become really buggy in FF.
