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.

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

I suggest posting on the Mint official forum (specifically: here) and, if you get no joy, filing an issue here.
