Answer by Max Senisch for Why do empty JavaScript arrays evaluate to true in conditional structures?

I suspect it has something to do with discrete math and the way a conditional (if then) works. A conditional has two parts, but in the instance where the first part doesn't exist, regardless of the second part, it returns something called a vacuous truth.

Here is the example stated in the wikipedia page for vacuous truths

"The statement "all cell phones in the room are turned off" will be true when no cell phones are in the room. In this case, the statement "all cell phones in the room are turned on" would also be vacuously true"

The wikipedia even makes specific mention of JavaScript a little later.
