Maybe because the backend is getting dumber and dumber (micro/nano services) while the frontend is getting more complex (SPAs, almost like desktops apps).
And I say this as a backend developer who makes these dumb backends that are little more than a glorified layer over postgres.

Interesting to see a static typed language growing on the frontend, while Python is now the most popular backend language.

If that's a reference to typescript, it can also be used as a backend language with node. That may contribute to the growth, too.
