Man you really just picked one part out of my comment which is the only part which you knew you could counter and then ignored the actual point. It is kind of irrelevant to the point that it isn't that complex, not all people want to use Babel, and saying that a package is useless because another package can do it is a horrible mindset and a horrible argument.
Look at the comment I answered. "As said before, not everyone wants to use Babel and setup complex build environments." just that. Even if we pick your other replies, they were "Yeah, because people want to support older browsers" and "Yes, Babel has polyfills, but not everyone wants to create complex build systems and may just want to stay a little more basic"
The second one's basically the one I answered, so stop coming up with random stuff. Babel not only has polyfills, but isn't complex and supports older browsers. That's all 3 of your replies countered.
As for "not everyone wants to use Babel", that's life. In a world where build tools or Babel didn't exist, a package that's a polyfill was useful. But it's been established as a great tool for quite some time now, so it's just using outdated/more complex solutions. Or in cases where you can't, which brings us to:
array-includes is used by 442 packages. One of those is create-react-app. Each app created with it also downloads array-includes. Which is not to say that people are willingly choosing to use it.
By the way, Babel has 24m weekly downloads, for all the "not everyone wants to use Babel and setup complex build environments" talk.

Said complex build environment:
babel.config.json
{
"minified": true,
"presets": [["@babel /env", { "targets": { "node": "current" }}]]
}
package.json
"scripts": {
"build": "babel src --out-dir dist",
},
"devDependencies": {
"@babel /cli": "^7.14.5",
"@babel /core": "^7.14.6",
"@babel /preset-env": "^7.14.7",
}
