Yeah that was weird but you can argue it has become a kind of DSL for DOM manipulation.

Yes I know it's not a language per se but because many questions request answer specifically in jQuery and not vanilla JavaScript, 84% JavaScript questions have jQuery tag and only 39% of jQuery questions have JavaScript tag, I think it's pretty fair to include it as a language of its own.

I don't think they cared about pedantic at all.
