I am curious why it takes so long for a JavaScript plugin to be reviewe,d and for WordPress just one day?
I have under review a JavaScript plugin for 10 days now!
I thought it’s because different reviewer but not sure..
Or they do check the other categories once in a week rather than everyday, if they have different management system..
This is stupid, I can do this for free! In a day!
12 days for a JavaScript plugin 
4 days gone, 8 to go… 1/3rd is over..
I got an approval after 13 days..

The second script was approved in 4 days…
It makes no sense to me how the review team works, I think the JS team is completely different from the WP team…
It’s the average approval time, could be less, could be more ( sometime )
As far as I know, you are right. Envato has a review team to check HTML, CSS and JS items. WordPress check WP review team. WordPress and PHP are very demandable categories and review time is very fast (currently a few hours to 1 day).

I believe the WordPress review team may lack an understanding of creative work. From what I’ve observed, most recently approved plugins are heavily script-based, with little focus on interactivity or creativity—this is a concern.
For example, if I were to show them a website like https://lusion.co/, which won “Site of the Year,” it would probably not pass their review process. It seems that many reviewers are very code-oriented and may not have the eye for creativity and interactivity.
It’s because of the difference, the good design doesn’t always mean could be used as/for template, it just gives the buyers not many customization option. But you’re right, probably this will be rejected as “template”
In my personal opinion nowadays Envato has changed its review process and many items getting rejected. A few days ago I got a WordPress plugin rejected (I made that plugin after getting a request from my customer). I made that with the maximum features I had in my thoughts and believed it would get approved but bad luck!
I am not surprised much! I think Envato is targeting the most powerful, demandable, high-quality item and my one was not so far.
I have uploaded in the last few months several plugins that I was sure at least two would get approval ( rejected ) then few days ago I uploaded another one that I was thinking to get rejected, approved 
I think Envato should really hire other reviewers if you ask me
No man, they literally don’t understand. Some plugins aren’t getting approved lately. I think they’re also rejecting things in categories that don’t sell anymore — but that’s so unfair, because nothing is selling these days. Times are tough!
After this point, it’s not really important. Sales are not good enough as before and lost of authors are leaving anyway.
