My original point was that the semantics of Promise.allSettled, which

not deserve its own standard name in the JS language, because of
A) how rarely this is actually what you want,
B) how easy it is to accomplish when it is, using patterns like e.g.
Promise.all(promises.map(p => p.catch(e => e)) & friends, and
C) (your point?) bugs from people wrongly using instead of Promise.all
Yeah, my own reasoning was more strictly scoped to testing and the
mozilla-central repository because that is my area of expertise, and I
may miss reasons why allSettled could be more useful in JavaScript in
other environments, but your general points look valid to me as well.
