Yeah, you said so in 2013 as well, yet nothing happened:

  https://esdiscuss.org/topic/let-this-object-of-global-environment-be-specified-by-host
  https://esdiscuss.org/topic/realm-api-and-this-global
  https://bugs.ecmascript.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1898

:-(

(That said, it's still unclear to me why we need to have three
constructs to describe one object.)
