Your profile is very generic and doesn’t stand out from thousands of other web developers. I’m not criticizing your skillset - just your profile.

Your last five years just have job titles and nothing about what you did and you have a lot of short job stints.

Every job application for a “generic” skillset literally gets 100s of applicants within the first few hours. What is your “unfair advantage”?

Seems like, if anyone hires you, you are guaranteed to leave before two years so maybe it's easier to save the trouble.
The average tenure of a Senior SWE is 2 years, what's the problem here?

Are you looking for someone that would stay for 20 years?

Certainly not true of FAANG engineers, most people are wanting to stay for their initial vest.

I think 3-4 years is a much better signal.

When I was hiring on behalf of a client, the average tenure was 1-1.5 years for mid-level in Australia. I was surprised but then I started hearing common stories. The two most common ones were the following.

The market rates were going up(and inflation going up more), people would ask their employers for an increase in compensation and get denied with broken promises. They'd wait to see if those promises go anywhere and then realize it's not going to happen so decide to change employers(and their employers act shocked).

Similarly, employment conditions were deteriorating and burn out spreading. People would ask their employers for a change in conditions such as hiring more staff and get denied with broken promises. They'd wait and well, see above.

On the other side of the spectrum, there were some with over 10 years of experience at the same place and lacked the knowledge of anything outside their employer's bubble. Their manager changed or redundancies started or something triggers and now they have to look elsewhere with their "loyalty" meaning nothing except being a detriment.
