WebStorm Run/Debug configuration: Adding "--use-strict" as Node parameter does nothing

Question

I am starting to code JavaScript on JetBrains WebStorm, and I am trying to follow a few examples from a book. I am trying to avoid adding use-strict at the start of every code file, knowing fully that using this approach should be used with caution.

When I use a console with node --use-strict (with the flag) and execute the following line:

coutner = 1

I get the expected error: Uncaught ReferenceError: coutner is not defined.

Then I try using the Run/Debug configuration: First, I define a new Run/Debug configuration that uses the same node as before, with a node parameter --use-strict:

Then I execute a file composed of the above code (with or without adding another line: console.log(coutner) after it) using that run configuration, the code executes, and I am not getting the expected error. Why is that?

I've also added the "Non-strict mode used" inspection under Settings -> Editor -> Inspections, and I get no warning for the file mentioned above.

In addition, I am using WebStorm on a Windows 11 computer and Ubuntu-22.04 through WSL2. These examples don't work on both Windows and Ubuntu node.js interpreters.

Any help would be much appreciated.
