Here is my most cynical opinion. The fragmented JS "build your own stack" community prioritizes quick prototypes and developer employment over long term developer productivity. It's easy for a company to get stuck with a quickly prototyped piece of garbage JS software that works quickly but then the developers can spend years reinventing every single crud wheel and calling it a "feature". Hence you end up evolving a large community of people who could stay employed by keeping company's on the hook vs developers who actually managed to get their project into a fully working state and become obsolete.
