I couldn't agree more. People today write static blogs with TS/React/Next/whatever because that's what they know. It's not because it's the best tool for the job (or even close to that). It has become standard to use React/Next/GraphQL for any new project, regardless if you're building a new Google Docs (which definitely benefits from JS) or yet another CRUD application that has lists, details and the occasional interactive page like a graph or something similar. That's the crux of the issue: we seem to have lost the ability to think critically and choose what we require, in favor of copy pasting choices from everyone else and calling it a day. Once you're heavily invested in all the JS-only technology, your incentive is to stay in that lane. To consider better alternatives is simply too costly for many. That's why we turn everything in sight into JS. Someone I can't recall said once: everything that can will be rewritten in JS. We even have people building email templates with React now because all they know is JavaScript.
