I don't understand how both btoa() and atob() methods are supported within the Airtable Scripting App Extension, but not within an Automation Scripting Action.

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/atob
Base64 encode and decode is an absolute staple in system integrations. Can it please be included to the Automation Scripting environment?
To get me out of a tight spot, I have used the below function to substitute btoa()
function btoa(str) {
let characters = 'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789+/';
let result = '';
let i = 0;
let char1, char2, char3;
while (i < str.length) {
char1 = str.charCodeAt(i++);
char2 = str.charCodeAt(i++);
char3 = str.charCodeAt(i++);
result += characters.charAt(char1 >> 2);
result += characters.charAt(((char1 & 3) << 4) | (char2 >> 4));
result += characters.charAt(((char2 & 15) << 2) | (char3 >> 6));
result += characters.charAt(char3 & 63);
}
return result;
}
I think that this is rather unnecessary...
