The numbers are small so there shouldn’t be any difference for fib(35)

They're fundamentally stored as and operated on in different ways. A BigInt does suddenly become a BigInt when in excess of MAX_SAFE_INTEGER, it's a BigInt even with a value of 1n.

fib(35) is much much smaller than the safe max that is the whole point of my comment
