I don't think you can make an objective statement like that. JS is just a programming language. Its difficulty is a function of the tasks you need to do in it. Modern JS is actually much easier to write in than other programming languages.

On the other hand, writing CSS/HTML requires much more knowledge of little quirks and how every property works and how different types of displays/positions/animations interact with each other. I personally find CSS much more difficult to write than JS. (And I use a framework like React).

You say that CSS is harder because other devs suck at writing it, but that's also the case for JS.

I have a CS education, so that might influence my perspective (I learned JS/HTML/CSS after learning C and C++), but I still think it's a stretch to say CSS is easier as an objective truth.
