Your explanation wouldn't even explain why it was Node+JS that got to be "in fashion" and not something else from the 20000 options
That's the point. There is no explanation, other than the same reason that bellbottoms are in again this year. Or out, I don't actually know.
We pretend like we're "engineers" or "scientists" but there's nothing objective about what we do...

You mean you can't come up with one. Because for me, which followed the scene for 20+ years, there is a perfect explanation.
which followed the scene for 20+ years
I had a homepage in 1994. I've seen them all come and go. This one's no different.

Mhmmm 1994 here also. Your take is shallow, pointless, and meaningless.
It’s as relevant as saying we don’t write apps in COBOL or Modula2 anymore.

Your personal lack of imagination and insight doesn’t mean there isn’t a reason (there are several, some extremely obvious).
Let's be honest: if you need "fashion" or "idiocy" etc to explain a trend in tech, you don't have an explanation.
