Could it be that these languages haven't evolved all of the tooling and ecosystems other languages have? You don't spend time setting up stuff. With web dev, you constantly spend time switching between various tools to just even build the damn thing/app. None of it is needed, per se - for years everybody made web sites without it - but we've all convinced each other that it's just what you do.
