The reason being CV driven development in most cases.

For the large part of projects I work on, plain old server side rendering with sprinkles of vanila.js work just fine.

At least folks now rediscovered SSG, but they seem to build rewriting bundlers in Rust as well.

Bullshit. jQuery as a library didn't inherently cause spaghetti code, it was predominantly just used as a cross-browser selector function and some standard library augmentation/fixes before JS itself caught up. Sprinkles of progressive enhancement jQuery were exactly the problem that caused frameworks to be created. Sprinkles of vanilla JS lead to the exact same outcome, minus a jQuery library load.

Whatever dude, we're doing ASP.NET MVC and Spring/Jakarta with vanilla.js just fine, go improve that CV.

How long have you guys been around? How large/old is the codebase? How many members are on your team?

We have been around since decades, being hired guns for Fortune 500 consulting.

Codebases are as old, or as new, as customers require for their business cases.

Do not forget jQuery.ajax, making cross-browser JS HTTP interactions possible in the first place.
