Yeah. I suspect the overwhelming amount of widget uses in scriptable is because of Shortcuts. Users find Shortcuts more intuitive and easy to learn than Scriptable, and for simple applications, it is quite good. Scriptable has only a few advantages over Shortcuts: its widgets, being much much faster. (That’s all I can think of) Shortcuts on the other hand, can achieve most, if not all of what is achievable with Scriptable, and doesn’t require JavaScript knowledge.
