I don't get why argument "it's easy to implement in user land" is raised.
All Array methods are easy to implement in user land. Including recent additions like .includes and ES2015 methods. Promises are easy to implement in user land. Smallest implementation is less than 1kB AFAIR. Maps, Sets, WeakSets are trivial to implement in user land if WeakMap is present. Probably less than 50 lines of code. Object.values, Object.entries, Object.assign, Object.getOwnPropertyDescriptors, Object.is, Array.from, Array.of. These methods were added recently but they can be implemented in user land.
