What are the steps to reproduce this bug?

Accessing the AnkiDroidJS object through globalThis no longer works, apparently after https://github.com/ankidroid/Anki-Android/pull/14564.

Expected behaviour

globalThis.AnkiDroidJS should be equivalent to AnkiDroidJS.

Actual behaviour

globalThis.AnkiDroidJS and window.AnkiDroidJS are undefined, while AnkiDroidJS works as expected.

@BrayanDSO FYI

[BrayanDSO]

This has been around since at least alpha15 and I can't think of anything specific that I have done that could result in that.

I can't find the documentation specifying that this should be intended or not. @krmanik has any thoughts?
