JavaScript has survived because it must be backwards compatible, not because it ever made sense.
Adding Temporal will only add to the chaos. Now there will be Date, moment, Luxon’s objects, and Temporal. See??? We fixed it!!!

The current situation forces developers to either choose something supported by the language, which has certain guarantees for backwards compatibility but is awful, and a 3rd party tool, which does not and is not as bad. It seems like the logical resolution is for the language to step up its game, since 3rd party tools have no obligation to be maintained or backwards compatible, or even to remain popular.
