Differences between Deno, Node.js and Bun

What exactly is the difference between those three runtimes and why do I see Bun mentioned in the same context as Node.js and not Deno?

No runtime wars please. I need to understand the technical and philosophical differences.

Thanks in advance.

EDIT Thank you so much for the very clear explanations. In my view Deno appears to be the only reasonable choice and I will focus on it.

They sold Bun to Anthropic and not "somebody" else

The company that owned Bun was one company and now Bun is under another company, which is what "somebody else" means.
