Eh, backend devs don't want to do the whole job. They want to provide a single excessively complicated API which all client-side (web, Android, iOS, TV, IoT, etc) devs can consume without disturbing them (at the cost of 10 requests to render a single page). They definitely do not want to be involved in generating specific HTML fragments and subsequently fiddling with them whenever a designer decides something needs a minor alteration. I've looked a bit for examples of HTMX in the wild, and the only times I've found it it's been so slow I would have preferred a full page refresh which at least lets me bookmark/navigate properly and involves no JS at all. Not enough data to really form a strong opinion though, I freely admit.
