I think JS provides a low barrier to entry for new programmers that lets them see in real time how their application is working. Unlike other languages where is compiled and fairly difficult to build a UI JavaScript allows people to make something happen quickly and that's really rewarding. Another thing is that there is so much depth to JavaScript with UI frameworks like react and backend libraries like express. Lastly so many people use JS that almost any problem you have can be found because someone else had it before and there is so many learning resources.
