This argument makes a ton of sense to me. Why is this not how most people explain it, rather than "all developers are stupid and they mess up one-liners so we should write their software for them"?
How it normally goes:
A: why does this exist it's one line?
B: people mess up one-liners all the time.
A: those people are dumb and shouldn't be programmers
How it should go:
A: why does this exist, it's one line?
B: it's not about that, it's used to easily/quickly compose with other similar functions into more complicated things like polyfill, backport, and backcompat bundles for deployment in environments that are quite a bit behind in terms of language support.
A: oh, neat, thanks!
