Agreed. Unfortunately, there's an entire content/bootcamp ecosystem pushing this stuff that came of age largely during the tech boom, as well as a bunch of early and mid-career devs and companies that are deeply tied to it. With major VC funding backing projects like Bun, Vercel, etc., I don't think this deeply flawed approach to development is going anywhere because the utopian JS fantasy of "it just works and runs everywhere flawlessly" is the ultimate myth of building for the web.
