Reading class-based code in JavaScript makes me want to weep. class AbstractBaseWhatever { someMethod() { throw new Error('Not implemented'); } } C'mon, man... do better!

What I mean by "indirection" is "how easy is it to open a file and find where somethingElse is defined?" In the case of instance methods, it's not obvious. In the case of regular functions, it is.
Not really. You still need to do a dance of "is this imported" and "where is it defined in this file". Same amount of steps to find a class method. IDE integration also makes it one ctrl+click away.

Nah, a class method might not even be defined in the superclass. It could be defined in *its* superclass. Potentially more steps.

Sure. An imported method could also be imported from another file too. There's the same amount of indirection, one can just be more dynamic.
