I view it more as server-side first modern app development. If you have a Django app for example htmx is a fast and easy way to make it feel fluid and dynamic like a modern SPA, but still using all your server generated Django logic, templating, etc. I seriously doubt many people decide they prefer coding up logic in attributes. It's just what HTML gives you as an extension point.
