Looking at the istio-linkerd-traefik-consul-whatever-the-heck mess of cloud-native ecosystem projects, I want to decree that backend engineers are no longer allowed to make fun of Javascript engineers for having too many frameworks anymore.

Not a good analogy. All the tools you mention are not integrated into your app neither change how you write code. In fact your application shouldn't even know what service mesh you are using. I can write a back end application once and then have it run with istio/linkerd/traefik/whatever with zero code changes. That doesn't happen in the Javascript world. The choice of framework directly affects your code.
