JS is 25 years old iirc, it has plenty of history but why would anyone worry about the quirks instead of trying to learn it as a new language (post ES6)? Mind you that Typescript does not replace JS, it just helps some developers write type safe (at design time...) code, but it's still plain JS at runtime.
On another note, take a moment to read this sentence as if someone else wrote it: "Why does it run everywhere?.... Each use case JS is reasonably decent at has either no alternatives, or better ones. Better tools for the same job." To me this is an example of "old man yells at cloud", or are you going to argue that Netflix handling 15% of all web traffic with Node.js is a bad decision?
