"Today many web developers consider jQuery to be “legacy software.” With all due respect to this perspective, jQuery is currently used on 75% of all public websites, a number that dwarfs all other JavaScript tools."

This argument is that jQuery is still very popular compared to JS frameworks like React, etc.

What about vanilla JS?

As someone who isn't that experienced with JS, my understanding is that modern vanilla JS is "about as good as" jQuery. i.e. if you don't need much JS these days, just choose vanilla JS.
