Also, the default target configuration is "es2016," and modern browsers only support up to "es2015."
I had to recheck this was indeed an article from 2023, because this part surprised me greatly. To my understanding, es2016 only added Array.prototype.includes, the exponentiation operator (**), and preventing generator functions from being constructed. Even the slowest adopters already had these in 2017. Is the author assuming IE11 support?
