In addition to scope, I think language syntax plays a role and naming is thought of differently in JS vs C#. In C# you could have a method that takes in 2 points: Point p1 and Point p2 parameters. Since you can see the Type is Point in the parameters it doesn't matter that you abbreviated it so much. In JS though you don't specify types, so point1 and point2 (or pointA/pointB) might be better, unless of course the function name is so obvious (like getMidpoint) in which case p1/p2 or a/b naming would still be clear.

I actually really like reading/writing code that uses really small variable names but are still very obvious given it's context (usually never acronyms though, I despise those). I'd always rather working with something small like p1 rather than something very descriptive like sceneOffsetPoint1, especially if I can read the code above it that shows it being assigned based from the scene center point: let p1 = scene.center + Point(2,3);
