I put food on the table, and I do more work in Django than I do in SPA's. In fact, one of the complaints I read about from management is that Django devs cost more than JS devs (don't know if that's true, just saying it's a management concern).

But I think the "React everywhere" error, is more or less the same as the "one language for everything" error, the "everything should be Windows" error, and many other cases of wanting to use only one technology and have it work for all cases.

I haven't seen a bootcamp teaching Django recently, so I can see where that might be true. The cheap people are overwhelmingly JS.
I've been working in the tech industry for 20 years and from my experience rarely do "cheap developers" ever actually seem to work out costing less in anything other than the very short term.

The cheaper the developer, the shorter the period where they cost less.
