There is a reason almost everyone use some Date lib, like Luxon and not the built in. And well, having a horrible built in lib that they can’t change due to legacy code breaking is nothing really new or unique to JS.
For very basic things maybe, but it has a lot of other weird problems and restrictions. Mutability, no real timezone support, very limited arithmetic, to name a few. As soon as you move beyond the very basic, you want someting more robust.

The built-in lib is fine for basic stuff unless you do some crazy shit like expecting
"2"to parse as a valid date.For very basic things maybe, but it has a lot of other weird problems and restrictions. Mutability, no real timezone support, very limited arithmetic, to name a few. As soon as you move beyond the very basic, you want someting more robust.
