The author (@Deuce) of the script in question would be the best one to clarify that comment, but from my perspective: classic_shell.js was written as an exercise it determining what it would take to write a command shell in JS that mimicked the default shell, at that moment in time, without changing anything in SBBS itself to address any deficiencies or extra difficulties one might encounter while doing so. A lot has changed in Synchronet since the time when it was written.
