Indie makers famously do just that. Pieter Levels is making millions with PHP and jQuery. I consult primarily in node and react with all sorts of transpilers mess and shitty packers. The stuff of nightmares - we waste so much time making things work - but simplifying the stack will never get traction among the not-anymore-technical principal engineers or even amongst the other developers who need a fancy cv for their next gig. My side businesses use python, django, jQuery, old node.js without modules, rust, svelte. Engineers hired in big companies want to work on shiny technologies and build their cv.
