This is actually mostly related to a language's expressivity, which can simultaneously be used for good and for obscure stuff. (Also, JS having a rough evolution from a badly designed scripting language with hacky injection points to the browser, to being an industrial language at the core of the modern web, with strong backwards compatibility)

This can be made into an extreme (e.g. C/Zig tries to make every line understandable locally - on the other extreme we have overloading any symbols, see Haskell/Scala).
