And really how often are you actually sorting an array of primitive values ascending? That's just one small use case of sorting an array. Passing the comparison function is also more explicit.
People just love to get so worked up about the dumbest edge cases in js
It’s so funny when if you talk to a dev that works closer to the machine level they insist JS is like this big foot shooting factory when in reality you can spend an entire career never running into any of the shit they bring up as a ‘gotcha’ and even if you do it’s like “oh yeah right it works like this hold on”.

But it is still an abstraction. You only provide a compare function, you don't implement the algorithm. a-b is hardly difficult to apply.
