Actually, for UI, in most cases using composition of defined components (like first example) is better approach than building them from an array (second example). In real world, layout would be more complicated (multiple sections, some buttons are bigger than others) and different types of buttons will have slightly different design (for example, operations vs numbers etc.). With composition, you will have button components (with different properties or of different types) organized inside of some grid container. With array of configuration objects (simple string per button will not be enough) and complicated rendering logic in a loop you will end up with quite ugly code.

The HTML one is a lot more readable, and it'd work without JS enabled, and it'd be fine in really old browsers, and you wouldn't need any build toolchain to deploy it, and etc etc... I love building web apps, but this is an example of where plain old HTML is actually better. If you don't need the complexity of React because you're building something simple, just don't add it.
