This package is currently pegged by peer dependency to React 17, which is likely to be the least adopted React version in a while, given that it was a glorified minor version before React 18. This peer dep should be more than fine for what this package does, and just increases compatibility without causing problems for users that are now able to use the package where they wouldn't be allowed to before.
Currently this package should be compatible with React 16, 17, and 18. But the Peer Deps listed basically disallow you from having any react packages that aren't in V17, which is almost certainly not the desired behavior, and a pretty annoying consequence of using the package currently. There's another PR (#915) that upgrades to React 18, but that isn't necessarily as compatible as this change and should be a lot easier to get through.
