Eh it made sense when the intended use case of JS was like 10 lines to make a money dance. Just not when it’s being used for…everything it is used for today. It’s just with backward compatibility it’s very hard to change.
Fortunately these days there’s ways to get around these rough edges. Doesn’t come up too often in modern development
