And yet Democrats failed to knock off even a single one of the three vulnerable GOP House incumbents in CA.

That will wait for 2022, after the 2020 census and redistricting.

This makes no sense; California is not a gerrymandered state, and there are still individual districts that are close even when the House as a whole is a bit of a reach.

Anyway, the real reason the Democrats didn't make any House gains in California (barring recount surprises) is because the 2014 wave didn't really happen there.
suprise but gerrymandered is never going to be solved.
It can, and it involves independent commissions. This, however, is never going to happen unless the government mandates them, because muh state legislatures.
Cali has a Citizen's Redistricting Commission.

Never?  It can easily be replaced by proportional representation.
