I'm not a fan of JS myself in all honesty (just not my favourite language to code in), but I think your first point is more about front-end dev culture than flaws inherent to the language itself. An alternative world could have existed where we have the same exact Javascript, without the culture of using "tens of thousands of tiny libraries" which change "several times a day". It was possible to avoid these faults while still keeping the language itself. So I think it's unfair to say (as the comment you agreed with said) that Javascript is the worst thing to happen to the web, because all the cognitive load being pointed to comes from widespread human usage of the language rather than the language itself. That's on us.
