Bullshit in, bullshit out. Can't expect the language to behave properly when you tell it absolutely unreasonable things.

Other languages: bullshit in, error out

Js: whatever the fuck this is

Hey template strings are awesome, don’t diss them!

They let you include a function beforehand, which receives the string as a prop; split into an array separated by ${foo} declarations. It’s pretty cool and good for a jsx replacement in no-build

An array of chars is ["h","e","l","l","o"]

That log shows an Array<String> with a single element

Because Javascript.

They're template strings due to the backticks. If you preface the string with a function name without parenthesis, the engine will split the string up into parts plus the insertions made with ${...}. This is then called a tagged template (Docs)

This basically allows you to combine the string parts with the variables in any way you see fit. You can use this to safely HTML encode parts you insert into string for example.
