Recursive function doesn't work in variant script

I wrote a script in the script manager which utilizes a recursive function to query the DOM until an outside form is loaded onto the page. I tested this and it works when I add it to a domain in the script editor. However, when I added the exact same script to the variant page, I realized that the recursive function is never called. This is pretty baffling and I can’t think of any reason why this wouldn’t work. Is there a reason a recursive function wouldn’t work on a variant script? Here is the relevant bit of code: waitForEmailInput() function waitForEmailInput(tries = 0) { if (tries === 100) return; var emailInput = document.querySelector('[type="email"][name="email"]'); if (emailInput) { someOtherFunction(emailInput) } else { setTimeout(function() { // When I log the function here I see it in the console, but it is never called waitForEmailInput(tries + 1) }, 300); } }
