Neon glow effect in illustrator should be simple, we should be able to do in single click like that we do in canva
can we use scripting
// Suppress the warning dialog that appears when running external scripts
app.preferences.setBooleanPreference("ShowExternalJSXWarning", false);
// Select the first layer
var myLayer = app.activeDocument.layers[0];
// Create a new offset path effect
var myOffsetEffect = myLayer.effects.add(EffectKind.OFFSET_PATH);
// Set the offset distance and angle
myOffsetEffect.property(1).setValue(10); // distance
myOffsetEffect.property(2).setValue(0); // angle
// Create a new Gaussian Blur effect
var myBlurEffect = myLayer.effects.add(EffectKind.GAUSSIAN_BLUR);
// Set the blur radius
myBlurEffect.property(1).setValue(10); // radius
// Set the blending mode to Screen
myLayer.blendingMode = BlendMode.SCREEN;
// Set the opacity to 50%
myLayer.opacity = 50;

A script feels like an overkill. A graphic style is just enough. Once saved, it can be inserted into a persistent user library and get applied in a single click. So, what's the point of this request? This is something you can already have.
