| The React API is designed to be declarative and reusable through composition; this is great for product developers because they can focus on what they want to render instead of how to render on the screen. However, in practice, these qualities of the API lead to the creation of deep React Element Trees, where a large majority of their Nodes only affect the layout of a View and don’t render anything on the screen, we call these types of nodes “Layout-Only” Nodes. | ||

why "in implementation"? I'm not familiar with this. Does it mean the same as "in practice"?
I tried to google the term but didn't find anything relevant.
