My personal opinion is that what applies to big companies offering "free" products applies in tech as well.I call it the good enough concept. The product is not exceptional but it is good enough when you consider all things involved (price in case of big companies (it being free) and performance in case of javascript. So for a lot of people web apps are good enough. They do not need native apps. The same applies to developers. Sure you can avoid transpiling to JS but JS also became good enough for people to just stick to it. And while they were at it they found out it is also good enough on the backend (nodejs) and on the mobile (react native) and also on the desktop (electron). Only time will tell if it is or was the right choice.
