Why in JavaScript doesn't Map have anything like .map, .reduce, etc.?

Just wondering if anyone has any insight (links?) or was involved in any of the discussions around Map() in JS. Was just wondering - it seems like the general methods - map, reduce, some, etc... - would have been useful on Maps as well, so i got curious why they weren't?

IIRC, adding those operations was merely postponed, not rejected.

These are work-arounds: https://exploringjs.com/impatient-js/ch_maps.html#missing-ma...
