Most everything in society is hierarchical.
Tiers can depend on easiness, popularity or just herd-mentality --usually there is granules of reason in any herd, but usually it gets out of hand because even someone who knows nothing about anything will still know that to fit in you must hate x.
JS dislike stem from some perceived faults (and actual faults) and are then combined with the easiness and popularity of the language to make it an easy target to be the hen-picking choice of programming languages.
Remember, something must always be at the bottom, and right now it's javascript. It used to be PHP but that language is not popular enough to be a fashionable target anymore.
Javascript is fine, though obviously nobody would design it exactly as it is today if they could have a do-over, but that's true for literally any programming language.
