These aren't JavaScript APIs, they're Web Platform APIs.

Intl could be considered a JS API, honestly.

But yeah, it's ridiculous still conflating the two after all these years of full-stack Javascript developments.

You can only access them through Javascript running in the browser though. So it might not be that big of a distinction.
Intl is the ECMAScript Internationalization API (ECMA-402). Browsers are not the only JS implementations that include it. Node.js does, Deno does, probably others do too.
