> Sure Clojure is a better language but not better enough to justify the additional abstraction layer IMO

Speaks for yourself, I'd take a pay cut to be able to use Clojure over JS (don't tell anyone )

Some of the why that is is captured here: https://gist.github.com/didibus/6e5ff960b25fdc1a5f8f97acede6...

But understand that a lot of it is about what language you personally enjoy and prefer, Clojure makes programming 10x more fun for me, and I already am someone who finds programming in general fun.
