I'm not sure if this is a serious question or not, but about 75% of the top sites on the Internet use jQuery:

Perhaps new projects shouldn't be using jQuery, but it's possible that some devs who just churn out code without watching the industry aren't aware of this. Increasing that awareness appears to be the point of this plainJS landing page.

Or maybe those devs are watching the industry but don't care for the direction it's urging them to take, e.g. locking themselves into complex frameworks like React for simple crud pages that have the basically the same DOM each and every time they're loaded.
