I just take that as a difference in the times. Meteor was from another era in development. We mainly did server side stuff and used backbone, knockout etc to do more complex interactions. Or just used javascript/jquery. Why would I use Meteor when I had Rails, Django, etc that was much more mature. It's different now because developers like more pain these days.
A lot of developers say that it's because the customer demands more, the interactions need to be better. None of that is the case in reality. The customer doesn't really care and at the end of the day most of these frontend framework users produce a worse experience unfortunately. High CPU, uncaught errors, poor messages, optimistic update bugginess, etc.
