Tangentially, you mentioned a lot of languages and not my friend Christine's hoot which doesn't have this problem. https://spritely.institute/hoot/ Not that I use uncommon lisps. Compiler garbage collector extensions outside of language standards are normal because different compilers are fundamentally different, imagine my friend Hayley's parallel garbage collector for sbcl (idk, look it up) or de facto standard extensions such as trivial-garbage, and weak pointer support generally. Basically javascript isn't a popular language.
