Closure Compiler is half dead anyway, doesn't even support public/private class fields etc from ES2022. I wouldn't be surprised if its gets abandoned within 1-2 years

It is indeed, and the reason is because Google is switching to wasm.

Not exactly. Google is using wasm where it makes sense to do so.

Google is heavily invested in TypeScript and JavaScript. Closure Compiler is far from half dead but the need to support current language features is mitigated by translating front ends (like TypeScript).

It will support these features eventually. Public field support is mostly there, just not on by default.
