Sure, note the equals (which is my point).

Same thing. Note the equals, which gives the reader the necessary visual
cue that we are entering an AssignmentExpression context.

Right. The lack of equals sign shows us that this is clearly a declaration.

Sorry, I don't understand this. ES6 modules, whatever they are, will be
the same across platforms.
And if I believe TC39 is making a mistake, I will pursue it : )
