The Bun Shell
Many mobile apps are written in JS/TS with React Native.
Linux desktop environments like Cinnamon [1] also use JavaScript for the UI. Linux Mint with Cinnamon is invariably among the top 3 Linux desktop distributions (on distrowatch [2]).
If anything, stats probably don't accurately capture how ubiquitous JS is.

Lobotomizing Gnome
I agree that there is a balance between customization and "cleanness" in design and implementation.
However, I think the GNOME 3 and 4 designers went too far and alienated many users:

When a designer's "coherent vision" eclipses the needs of the software's users then users get frustrated and either fork the project or go to another project. MATE (https://mate-desktop.org/), Cinnamon (https://github.com/linuxmint/Cinnamon), and Unity (https://unityd.org/) exist largely because of how far the GNOME 3 designers went and how they were not willing to compromise their "coherent vision":

Wayland transition attempt, 2023 edition
Mind you, it's much easier to crash a Wayland compositor than an X11 window manager because so much more has to be done in the compositor process; Cinnamon devs mentioned this flaw as a major reason they won't support Wayland yet, because if a panel widget crashes, it will also crash the entire desktop.

F38 (Cinnamon): mouse cursor not stopping at right edge of screen on HDMI tv
I tried a few searches through open cinnamon issues but nothing really stood out yet OTOH, I know some of the recent changes to Nemo/Cinnamon had caused issues which I've run into myself in F37 (such as the new themes, some Nemo drag-and-drop issues, and another issue with Nemo's input focus when clicking the toolbar button to a new folder while you are renaming a file) so still plausible this could be a Cinnamon-specific bug.

egg🥲Irl
so do you want to be named after a desktop environment or an application usage time tracker

Linux Mint should have a Power Profile option
I also think that this could be a Cinnamon feature, a nice UI app that could use TLP as backend. This could be a feature request in the Cinnamon github and not a reddit post.
- I wish the Linux Mint search was smarter

Extension, plugin, or package for to use "mouse movements" to scroll(?)
try Solaar. it's meant to manage Logitech devices on linux. I'm not sure if what you're looking for is possible with it, but it's worth a shot. I remember something similar with a Logitech mouse once, it was by holding down one of the extra buttons and moving the mouse. maybe something like that is possible with this too?

Check out Solaar, they're specialized in Logitech support so I think you might have better chances with that tool. And it allows pretty complex custom rules so you should be able to create all the Macros you need https://i.imgur.com/65tDBs3.png
