Why is this? Aren't the underlying Apple events the same?
Not in the slightest. There's a lot more to AppleScript and JavaScript
than sending Apple events. (Watch the event log sometime -- notice
what sends events and what doesn't.) An OSA language doesn't even have
to be able to send Apple events. Most of them can, of course, but it's
not required.
