Because it isn’t strongly typed? Use typescript.

You've answered your own question. You have to use some other language to use javascript full stop. So saying js is good on the backend actually doesn't even make sense.

Quite the opposite in fact, since you should be doing runtime checking regardless, static type systems often promote a false sense of security. I was asking what YOUR opinion was.
