One of underlying issues is also, that "web dev" is a very broad field. There are people programming Ruby on Rails, C#/ASP.NET MVC, Python, Java etc. without JavaScript at all, and it is considered web dev. There are people doing FE/BE separated in whatever backend language, and using Angular/Vue/Svelte/React with TypeScript, Javascript and so on. It is a very heterogenous field. So you should narrow down what you are looking for.
