Did the company make money?

That's the reality of it. You don't need shiny frameworks or any of those tools to make money.

Are developers happy with it? Maybe! Nothing wrong with spicing up a site with a little jQuery. Heck, I used Alpine.js on a brand new site and it's great. No build step, just works!
