I agree. I don't know what the solution is either. I've been asking myself this question for some years now. Last year, after 10 or so years using Node, I concluded that JS in the backend was a mistake and I had mostly wasted those years. I'm currently migrating towards another stack. It's more difficult for the frontend. Inevitably you end up needing JS unless the project works as static HTML with close to no interactivity. I still haven't properly tested HTML over wire solutions though.
