No, it is NOT "something else or more fundamental" - it is most certainly the lack of proper, performant access to the DOM without having to use crazy, slow hacks. Do that and frontend web-apps will throw JS into the gutter within a decade.

They will not. E.g WordPress and Dajango are 20 years old and still very popular. People don't just jump to hype because hacker news does.

Why though? What's wrong with JS? I feel like it's gotten a lot better over the years. I don't really understand all the hate.
