This isn't a Javascript problem, this is a React problem. You could theoretically rewrite React and RSC in any language and the outcome would be the same. Say Python ran in the browser natively, and you reimplented React on browser and server in Python. Same problem, not Javascript.

It happened with Next.js as well https://github.com/vercel/next.js/discussions/11106

Yes.

And since Python does not natively run in the browser, that mistake never happens. With JavaScript, the desire to have "backend and frontend in a single codebase" requires active resistance.
