the "mentality" you are referring to is not limited to JS at all, and has less to do with the particular language. Market dynamics, company incentives and a larger pool of developers among other reasons contribute to that more.

I don't think GP meant "JavaScript Mentality" as "a mentality that's limited to js", but more as "a mentality you see a lot in the js-adjacent world".
well, setting blanket labels in that way is bound to be inaccurate and even inflammatory, as on the surface it sounds like bait to disparage groups around one specific language.

or, a more better term would be 'Atleast it works' mentality.

Precisely :)
