There are some cases where using equals makes more sense - particularly when testing attributes
Consider the following case:
const width = otherParam - anotherParam + 10;
strictEquals( $foo.attr('width'), width )
strictEquals( $foo.data('x-y-z-width'), width )
Doing the following seems overkill to me, given data could also be stored as an integer:
const width = otherParam - anotherParam + 10;
strictEquals( parseInt( $foo.attr('width'), 10 ), width )
