For [1] many languages have "wat"'s. Also, the leap from "wat"'s to "absolutely bad programming" is a jump in reasoning. You can be a poor hacker in any language.

For [2] and [4], they are issues with the ecosystem, which I suppose it related but isn't strictly js, ie., you don't have to use React (shock). For npm, at least that issue has been addressed.

[3] is a social issue...it happens in many places. Can you claim that the university system is flawed due to similar attitudes of students who attend university?

I'm a fan of "You can write COBOL code in just about every language." I saw a pretty large VB5/6 app that was entirely styled like a COBOL app.. it was hideous to debug/use/follow, but it can be done... After that, I decided a lot of the time, it isn't the language that's the problem most of the time.
