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.

Did you even bother to read my comment? Try again, please. Next time don't skip over parts.

It's the same vulnerabilities because Next uses the vulnerable parts of React.
Your rational is quite poor as I can write an isomorphic web app in C or Rust or Go and run parts in the browser, what then? Look, many of us also strongly dislike JavaScript but generally that distaste is based on its actual shortcomings and failures, you don't have to invent new ones plenty already exist.
