Why would I talk about that? The article is about the James Webb Space Telescope, not the James Webb Browser. Aside from that, this is rooted at the mention of "node_modules", which is a NodeJS-ism; browsers don't even run NodeJS modules (unless you recompile them to standard JS), so browsers are doubly irrelevant...

I didn't omit that. I was very explicit about NodeJS cannibalizing JS.

You seem to have me confused with someone else. (Talk about "context"!) Where does that quote from? It looks like you made it up.
