Probably a generational thing. I learned BASIC, but when I was a kid, I had not internet, no phone, and no browser.
Nowadays everyone has 10 JavaScript interpreters in every device, so it's much more accessible than finding out about and installing BASIC.
BASIC also lost all relevance in terms of actually being useful (if it ever had it), whereas JS is the bee's knees.
