This is mostly a sentiment I see from people who used or heard of JS 10+ years ago and didn't bother to learn added JS language features and recent tooling.
Standard libs can be great, but they should really be reserved for baseline features, especially in a language like JS where all changes must be backward compatible. The standard JS has now is not at all what it was in the early 2010s, it's a very good set of baseline features.
