someone at Google or Mozilla hasn’t decided to write a JavaScript Standard Library.
JS, Browser, and DOM APIs are pretty good these days. Much better than they used to be, with more features and consistent behaviour across all major browsers.
The main issue is server-side, and neither Google nor Mozilla have a big interest in server wide JS. Google mostly uses Python and Java for their server-side code, and Mozilla mostly uses Rust.
Having said that, there’s definitely some improvements that could be made in client-side JS too.
