In case you missed it, JavaScript finally implemented a groupBy static method for Object and Map:

Map.groupBy(iterable, callbackFn)
Object.groupBy(iterable, callbackFn)

Example usage from MDN:

const inventory = [
{ name: "asparagus", type: "vegetables", quantity: 9 },
{ name: "bananas", type: "fruit", quantity: 5 },
{ name: "goat", type: "meat", quantity: 23 },
{ name: "cherries", type: "fruit", quantity: 12 },
{ name: "fish", type: "meat", quantity: 22 },
];

...

const restock = { restock: true };
const sufficient = { restock: false };
const result = Map.groupBy(inventory, ({ quantity }) =>
quantity < 6 ? restock : sufficient,
);
console.log(result.get(restock));
// [{ name: "bananas", type: "fruit", quantity: 5 }]

...

const result = Object.groupBy(inventory, ({ type }) => type);

/* Result is:
{
vegetables: [
{ name: 'asparagus', type: 'vegetables', quantity: 5 },
],
fruit: [
{ name: "bananas", type: "fruit", quantity: 0 },
{ name: "cherries", type: "fruit", quantity: 5 }
],
meat: [
{ name: "goat", type: "meat", quantity: 23 },
{ name: "fish", type: "meat", quantity: 22 }
]
}
*/

You might have missed that it's neither decently supported,
nor, as for the enthusiasm, it has anything to do with the
aggregation operator by the same name, in fact, with any
aggregation at all: this "groupBy" is more of a "partitionBy"
and can be implemented in one line of code with an array
reduce over the input's keys. Indeed, I'd call it plain clutter.

Given the Universality and Expressiveness of Fold [1], we can say that about most functions/methods

You provided statistics that apparently you can't read.

No, we can't say what I have said of most functions/methods,
but again, you can't even read, apparently.

EOD.

In case you missed it, JavaScript finally implemented a groupBy static method for Object and Map:

Map.groupBy(iterable, callbackFn)
Object.groupBy(iterable, callbackFn)

Which is not widely supported yet:
