If it's as simple as "javascript because web" as you suggest, how does that jibe with things like Electron (js desktop apps) and back-end JS without a web facing component? None of those people had to pick JS.

None of them _had_ to pick JS, but many of them prefer it because they already know JS from building web apps.

The projects are different, but there's a lot of crossover in terms of the people behind them.
