Because a few years ago it was the most easy to use language and people were creating brilliant tools and software libraries that, truly, changed the world. Because of the low barrier to entry everyone and their grandma became copycats by releasing their own revolutionary new framework. For a long while being a master of the majority of the JavaScript landscape made you elite. So developers minds were stretched, no, pulled apart by the diverging number of JavaScript frameworks. Before long the list of things they were supposed to keep track of got so long that it just became impossible to do. I haven't been able to keep track of it since but I assume that just means the number of JavaScript frameworks is expanding faster than the speed of light.
