React could rerender the whole app on every action; the end result would be the same. (Just to be clear, rerender in this context means calling `render` for all components, it doesn't mean React will unmount and remount them.

In the current implementation, you can express the fact that a subtree has been moved amongst its siblings, but you cannot tell that it has moved somewhere else. The algorithm will rerender that full subtree. Because React relies on heuristics, if the assumptions behind them are not met, performance will suffer.
