I agree with you, but with some nuances. I think dev.to doesn't encourage talking about JS specifically, I think it's a trend that is reflected here, a lot of people are learning about it and a lot of people want to read about it so, there are more people willing to write.
Maybe part of the problem is fixed if there are no likes, no unicorns and no numbers. Without those numbers there is no thought process of "let's write about this just because it gets a lot of attention" or "if I put up these 7 resources I'm going to get a lot of likes with an hour of effort".
I don't know if this is the solution or not, but it will be interesting to rip out all the numbers and see what happens, I guess people will lose motivation and leave any platform that makes this move tho.
