A key difference is the promise to be working even without JavaScript.

"Htmx is a dependency-free, browser-oriented javascript library."

The framework itself is written in Javascript

The end user is NOT writing Javascript.

It's no different from anything else. The promise if every framework is to abstract away some low-level details. Whether that means writing "higher-level JS" like jQuery did many years ago already, and hundreds of other frameworks do today, or inventing some new DSL like htmx does that translated to JS internally. No difference.
