Tests are about catching bugs, not playing no-true-Scotsman about what is or is not “unit test-y enough” to be a valid test.

If you have a bug that acts different on JSC than V8 or vice versa that's not necessarily a bug in your code. It maybe implies that your code is doing something wrong and should take a more web platform "standard" approach. It generally implies that you are relying on browser specifics that you'd likely be better off testing directly in those browsers in functional/integration tests.

The point about saying "those aren't unit tests" is that it is a "wrong tool for the wrong job" problem. Of course I don't expect Node or Bun to act like any specific browser. The things I want to test in Node or Bun are "universals" that should work in any JS environment, no matter what. If I need to catch V8-specific bugs or JSC-specific bugs, I want to use a smarter integration testing tool like Cypress or Playwright for that, not slow down my unit test suite trying to make a unit test harness pretend to be browsers.
