What is `delete(<anything>)`?

When I use delete keyword as a function it returns boolean and if I pass anything it doesn't throw error

const foo = 0
delete(foo) // false

const bar = 1
delete(bar) // false

delete(unknown) // true

delete(5) // true

I don't understand this behaviour so I wanna someone to explain to me why javascript works like that

You may wanna take a look here:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Operators/delete

The return value is:

true for all cases except when the property is an own non-configurable property, in which case, false is returned in non-strict mode.
