<script>...</script> not working in PB modules was created by trogladyte

I have been using the following code, in conjunction with the extension DirectPHP to insert the current year in the copyright:

Code:

{?php echo date("Y"); ?}

With Joomla 4, there is no plans to update DirectPHP to be compatible, so, I have started using the following code to accomplish the job.

Code:

<script>document.write( new Date().getFullYear() );</script>

However, if I use it in a PB module, I can enter it, but when I save out of the text block, the year (2021) is shown on a white page. only. If I refresh, I get the admin page back and nothing was saved. If I use a code block it works fine. If it's in a Custom HTML module it's fine. I'd prefer to use a regular text block over a code block. Why will the text block not work?
