Imo it's context dependent. Obligatory "I'm only a college student/intern" out of the way.

Whenever I'm working with a project with multiple languages (e.g. split frontend+backend, different connected services, etc.) operators like that can get blurry when they aren't consistent between lancuages. Especially when one of those languages doesn't have runtime type enforcement or has weird boolean behavior (looking at you JS/TS) which can lead to unintended behavior

If everyone on the project is only working with that language, then your point is probably pretty close to the mark.
