That's why I'm staying with CodeMirror 5 too.
It seems like for the past few years many high profile JS projects increased the complexity of using their software for (to me) unclear benefits.

Yep. Let me stress that there's absolutely nothing wrong with this if that's what you want to do -- but it's less than optimal for the person who just wants to add a JavaScript file for the editor, with maybe a JS/CSS combo to support syntax highlighting for a specific language. Codemirror 5 was like that, pretty much.
You basically have to set up a whole independent build and packaging system to configure Codemirror 6, and a lot of people just don't want to deal with that.
It's a pity it's the only JavaScript-based editor that works at all reliably on mobile (I would be delighted to be proven wrong about this).
