What does `Reflect.apply()` do and why prefer it over `Function.prototype.apply()`?

Accepted Answer

Reflect.apply(target, thisArg, args) allows calling a function with specific this and arguments, offering a defensive approach against potential shadowing. This makes it preferable over Function.prototype.apply.
