Shoudnt be something that could be tackled with the introduction of a
kind of "-g" flag ? Asking the user to make explicit that is willing
on having all of this extra information that in normal situations
won't be there.

Agree, at least from my understanding, Google has had a lot of
initiatives to improve the JS runtime. But at the same moment, these
last years and with the irruption of Asyncio many companies such as
Facebook are implementing their systems on top of CPython meaning that
they are indirectly inverting on it.
