Excellent write up Laurie! I'm happy to see how you distinguished NestJS to avoid confusion for others! :)
A nice way for others to think about NestJS for anyone still confused:
Think of it as a superset or abstraction ABOVE Node.js.
It can be interchangeably used with Express or Fastify under the hood.
But it's an amazingly declarative, structured, dependency-injection flavored layer on-top of Node.js that let's you build really organized serverside applications.

That’s a great way of putting it. Appreciate you adding that 😊 I’m always of the belief that multiple explanations help different people understand topics.
Definitely!! We've also been experiencing a bit of confusion with Nest (due to the unfortunate name similarity).
You made my day with your spot on explanation!! Bravo :)
