jquery is less verbose than native ES6+ js functions, I'm not a frontend developer myself, my understanding is react/vue/etc are for SPAs where you manage lots of states inside the browser locally instead of on the server side, but majority web-related UI actually does not need that ecosystem/complexity at all, a bootstrap+jquery can still serve majority of use cases in my opinion. I just started working on a dashboard for an embedded network device, and bootstrap + jquery seems perfectly fine there, and I don't need spend a month to learn react/vue/webpack/etc and become a js expert before I can do anything productive.
