By "nobody", he means JavaScript "hackers" (his term) and webdevs. How joyful that those types of "devs" are now excited and "care" about desktop and mobile development.

Limiting oneself to JavaScript is quite limiting. Just like a polyglot person is has access to way more information, cultures and fun than a monolingual one; a polyglot programmer too has access to more tools, paradigms and fun. Also, hammering everything as if all the stuff was nails is not hacking at all.
