Somewhere along the line the only accepted voice in the industry was everything has to be Javascript. I still have no idea why HTML5 hasn't evolved to include features purposed by HTMX.

I think even 5% is an over-statement. In my Top 100 site visit per month, the only three site that were SPA are Gmail, Feedly and Youtube. And I dont see how any of these three couldn't be done in HTMX. The Web Apps, if we call it that, that actually requires heavy JS usage are Google Work, Sheets, Google Map and Google Earth, and possibly some other productivity tools like Figma.
