I'm not sure why/when the shift took place, but I do like it because it looks a lot cleaner than double quotes. At work I use airbnb's linting configuration as shown here[1], which specifies the usage of single quotes for strings (no explanation for the preference though).

In speculating on reasons behind the preference, my best guess is HTML. It seems more natural/idiomatic to write: var el = $('<a href="/" class="link">Link</a>'); rather than var el = $("<a href='/' class='link'>Link</a>"); let alone var el = $("<a href=\"/\" class=\"link\">Link</a>");

  In this particular case, I'd write var el = $("<a href=/ class=link>Link</a>");
