Why should I use Reflection in Javascript?

I wanted to know why I should use Reflection in Javascript instead of normal operators. I only knew it existed Reflection today and I wanted to know why it would be more useful to use Reflection instead of normal operators.

An example would be to use Reflect.deleteProperty(target, key) rather than delete target[key] supposing that target is an object.

Define "normal operators" and could describe why you think Reflection and the so-called "normal operators" do the same thing?

In general it shouldn’t. To use something has to have justification. Do you have? I see one, but it can be because I try to do everything with simplicity.

@Maniero I have no justification, I just found the Reflection while looking at Mozilla’s Docs so I wondered if there was any reason to use it instead of operators such as delete, new, in and among others.
