Tail recursion optimized javascript code performance worse than non optimization, it's counterintuitive，Is it because the compiler doesn't optimize?

Question

function factorialNormal(n) {
  if (n === 1) {
    return n
  }
  return n + factorialNormal(n - 1)
}

function factorialWithTail(n, acc) {
  if (n === 1) return acc;
  return factorialWithTail(n-1, n + acc)
}

recursion function is fast than tail-recursion and the tail use more memory, causing the maximum call stack
