The REAL problem is that the industry collectively uses JS almost exclusively for shit it was never meant to do. Like you say, it's intended for it to not throw errors and kill your whole web page, because it was only ever intended to be used for minor scripts inside mostly-static HTML and CSS web pages. Then we all turned it into the most-popular language in the world for building GUI applications.
