But it means learning something other than JS!

It feels like many developers are adamant to never leave their comfort zone. Hence, JS everywhere.

Coders like to code. Product builders want to build products with a minimum of fuss.

Then they should use other technologies in the first place because web development ecosystem adds too much fuss to the process.

Also product builders usually want to provide good user experiences. You may be saving yourself from some additional code but delivering battery draining solutions with non-native UI patterns and broken accessibility to your users.
