Uhh, no? I code in JS every day and do nothing of the sort, and I would object if I saw it.

I don't even know what you mean by this, but the fact that you're conflating JS with "the page" suggests to me that you're not that familiar with server-side JS (which has no "page") and the enormous amount of code that is written to be compatible with it.

If you use Babel you already have that, and just don't know about it. Most "upcoming features" shims do just that.
