It's even more general:

    type

    This attribute indicates the type of script represented. The value of this attribute will be one of the following:

    [...]

    Any other value
    
    The embedded content is treated as a data block, and won't be processed by the browser. Developers must use a valid MIME type that is not a JavaScript MIME type to denote data blocks. All of the other attributes will be ignored, including the src attribute.

Although 'importmap' has specific functionality, as does 'speculationrules', although they operate similarly. My favorite is type="module" which competes with the higher level attribute nomodule="true". Anyways it looks like <script> has taken a lot of abuse over the years:

It "conflicts" in the same way noscript[1] and script "conflict" no? They're basically related features, but can't really be made exclusive because the mere act of trying to do so wouldn't work: as the link indicates, executing code in a !module browser reserves the type (requires a specific set of types) so you can't use that as a way to opt in !module browsers.

[1] an other fun element with wonky parsing rules besides

You can write:

    <script nomodule="true" type="module"></script>

Which is a little weird. At the very least I'd expect the type="module" documentation to say that `charset`, `defer` and `nomodule` attributes have no effect.
