Null Safe Nullable Variable

Please don't do this unless there's a solid reason.
So, I happened to see Javascript code similar to the following on a production app which I can't see the reason. Assuming redirectUrl is never null.
const url = isRedirect ? redirectUrl : "null";
The above renders the check further down useless:
if (url) {
// Do something
}
