Why not ... expressJS + typescript + React then ? Not sure what's the point of using Django, except for You only know Python reason


Really irrelevant comment. Moreover, the "You only know Python" reason is a very strong argument.


It is almost like one could leverage python and all the amazing libraries to compute interesting things.

It is almost like we can actually build web apps that do more than CRUD.


Short answer: Django comes with so much out of the box that you end up reinventing a lot of wheels if you go with a pure JavaScript/TypeScript approach.
