JS hasn't changed much at all since 2015 when ES2015 (formerly ES6) was launched. That brought about some much needed improvements to the language including native modules, destructuring, spread operators, constants and bracket scoped variables, etc.
JavaScript and the web is a massive, massive ecosystem with millions of developers. With an ecosystem that big, there's always going to be many opinionated ways to solve a given problem. It's easy and frictionless to release new tooling or frameworks for the web.
That being said, today's framework situation is relatively tame. In 2022, same as 2016, people by and large still use React, Vue, and Angular. There's a couple of upstarts with Svelte and whatnot, but the vast majority of tooling still pretty heavily weighted towards the big 3.
