If everything in JavaScript is an object then why does the 'typeof' operator return 'function' for 'Object'?

Question

From some source, I have learned that everything in JavaScript is an object. Then why does the typeof operator return function for Object?

console.log(typeof Object); 
//function

The same reason that if you pointed at a factory that made cars and asked me what it is, I'd tell you it is a factory (and I wouldn't tell you it was a car) — Quentin, Jun 08 '22 at 15:52

Because Object is the constructor for an object.
