Your title may confuse the readers.
AngularJS is not the same as Angular (or Angular 2+ for specific). Angular 2+ is completely a new framework compared to AngularJS. People don't use AngularJS for new projects any more.

That's part of the problem. Google is known to break compatibility with projects which makes relying on Angular for your project scary. Those that were relying on AngularJS learned this the hard way.

The technology could be super awesome but at the end of the day you want to know that it won't go obsolete overnight on a Google's whim.

Finally, popularity (unfortunately) matters. A lot of this is decided based on what it popular. Companies choose tech that is known by many developers. And developers choose tech that will make them attractive to companies.

In the end it's more of a fashion contest than a technical decision. Unfortunately.
