Definitely true in general, but I think it's more noticeable in the JS world. Look at Java + Spring, C# + ASP.NET, Python + Django, Ruby + Rails: these are all examples of popular frameworks that have been around for much longer than any single JS library (except jQuery), and are all still in high demand.
I believe ASP.Net and Spring predate jQuery.

This is primarily a JS thing. Many nontechnical people that look over your resume don't know that Node Backbone React Angular and the random data visualization libraries are all "Javascript"
This is the awful truth of programming in general today. Sadly, it's a train not many of us can jump off of because of employ-ability. If popular tool/framework/language/etc is not on your resume, you're not getting called back. If popular tool/framework/language/etc is not being used by anything in your Github, you're not getting called back.
