See the wider picture, how flexible they are and how fast they grow. Their freedom in making things possible that would be very hard to realize.
The shell that i'm using for instance, Hyperterm, it does things no other shell can do, and they had more than a decade to evolve. JS doesn't have a problem displaying json as json, display webpages on link clicks, moving up git logs with my trackpad, adding tabs with a plugin that contains a few lines of code and a little css, ... it just comes easy to JS.
The same flexibility you see in Atom, VSC and the others.

You know what else doesn't have a problem doing this? Literally any other programming language or tool that I've ever used to look at/edit Json.

Any pretty much any other terminal built with flexibility and extensibility in mind (even the base terminal in Linux can handle links lol, that's definitely not exclusive to js). ZSH springs to mind, with the benefit of being written in Case, so that you know, it's actually fast...

Ah yes, including the freedom to not open any binary file, or any file >2mb in size!
