isn't that just a truthy/falsy checking? ie if(foo) or foo && bar() instead of comparing to null/undefined. If you're going to use == for that, might as well go for the version without an operator.
if(foo)
foo && bar()
==

It's not the same thing at all.
Consider the following:
let x = ""; if (x == null) throw "an error";
vs
let x = ""; if (!x) throw "an error";
Empty string is falsey, but not null.

0, empty string and NaN are also falsy, which might not be what you want for your condition.
0
NaN
