These emperor has no clothes posts are very popular, and some may ask what's the point. It's a question worth considering. I think by instinct people especially programmer/engineer types like the idea of purity.
But if you consider that every decision must be put through a cost/benefit analysis, I think the appeal is that - I (or anyone in the future that will ever touch the code) must learn JS. OK. Now they must also learn framework X. That's the added cost.
Our memory is limited too, like a computer chip. When I know JS I can instantly access what I need. If you think of a Google or cheat sheet lookup like a disk access, well memory is faster than disk.
