Because, as you already very well know, things don’t happen because they make sense, or because people who know stuff think something is a good idea.
Things happen because enough people got into it. That’s it.
And even if everybody wished JS to die, it simply won’t, because people need to get paid, and devs already in the ecosystem won’t switch, cause switching is expensive.
Built software doesnt just disappear when popularity wanes. There is still TONS of PHP running websites actoss the internet, despite it being out of favor. Hell, there are still cobol programs running at large companies who were very early tech adopters.
JS has permeated so much, you wont see it disappear in your lifetime.
If it’s popular then why do so many of those things still exist?

If it was a popular opinion then people wouldn’t have gotten into it.
Even if it was popular by 60%, the rest is still a lot of people.

“Murder is bad” is a popular opinion. So why do so many murders still happen???
Comparing using Node.js to murder is hilarious.
Node.js is the preferred backend solution among mass murderers
Because project managers talk to stakeholders and have no idea how anything works.
And that’s because when people who know how things work talk to stakeholders, no one buys.
Welcome. To, the machine.
