Note that you can affect the behavior of tree-sitter sexp movement by defining the sexp “thing” in treesit-thing-settings. Js-ts-mode defines one (js--treesit-sexp-nodes) and it only consider some nodes as sexp. You might be able to tweak the sexp movement to your liking by changing it, or directly modifying the definition for `sexp’ in treesit-thing-settings.
