This is not necessarily refuting what you said but perhaps a different point of view. I wrote a simple backend servive with go and wanted to have some on off switches and status icons for it. I don't know js and am not interested in learning it. Htmx gave me enough interactivity to put together that one status thing with buttons in a few hours. To me that's valuable.
