Just because they're popular doesn't necessarily mean their users like them.
Lots of people learn and use these languages because:
1 - That's what they're taught at school.
2 - That's where many if not most programming jobs are.
3 - There are a bazillion libraries they can use, compared to other languages.
4 - JS is built in to browsers.
5 - They don't know any better.
6 - Marketing.
Also, many companies want their staff to develop in these languages because of the reasons on this list plus that's what most programmers know, so it's relatively easy to find employees.
