In most cases, I'd agree with you - but I think this one is a little different since the customer is a technical implementer building a product.
For some use cases, I think it would be fine - internal tools that need a quick and easy solution, perhaps.
But I don't think anyone feels great about building a product on an aging foundation.
Would you select Angular 1 as a UI framework for a new project today?
Also, I think it's hard to make a good argument for single letter variable names, except in very rare cases. Unfortunately, in this code base their use is the norm rather than the exception.
