API development. People consider the performance of Node good enough, and they can use the same language for frontend and backend.

To answer a more specific version of your question:

Specifically, Typescript has a larger talent pool of experts to hire from. Although, I do hope that changes for Rust over the next 5 years.

Much easier and faster development and maintenance for applications that don't have strong performance or safety requirements.
