Is writing "plain old JS in a text editor" really that rare nowadays? Honest question - I've only done a few websites, some with basic JS functionality and a few more advanced (for a website, that is) Go apps now - but never really felt the urge or need to reach for the "modern JS scene", so I'm unsure just how prevalent that kind of setup is.

It is for modern commercial products, yes. And while there's some fragmentation and hacks that justify derision, it's not that bad. Any complex software component needs a package manager and a build system.
