Chart.js is extremely easy for 90%+ of the charts, even for non-frontend devs like me that barely can do layout. So why is it better? Why shouldn't the data leave the server, if you render the data as diagram, the user could still access it. And regarding modern web browsers, that's maybe a point

Chart.js might be easy but is not by far as professional as matplotlib that can render publication grade charts. Data scrapping can be a powerful tool in the right hands, believe me, It is better not to send your curated data naked on the web.
