That's because JS with its dynamic typing is great for developing code quickly, but not so great for maintaining and evolving it over a longer time frame. Then there's the lack of the standard library, which means your code has to depend on code of random people who may or may not know what they're doing. Also, because it's the web where patching code is quick and easy, people don't seem too bothered with quality. I've chosen mobile development myself and fortunately things are a lot more sane here.
