It absolutely is, but time and time again TC39 has followed few champions over the waves of people favoring F# pipes.

It's incredible to me TC39 would rather have this monstruosity over F# pipes which are actually pretty similar to how most pipes work and read in most functional languages including unix `|` one.

On the flipside, I think that this is still such an ongoing debate is part of why the pipeline operator is still stuck in Stage 2 and having trouble getting into Stage 3, despite being listed as a "priority" multiple times on and before 2020. TC-39 isn't blindly following anyone here, they seem to be dragging their heels hoping that someone comes along with an even better compromise between the styles.
