In 2015, we have ES6 modules now. Instead of define/require, we have import/export and it is standards based now, which is nice.

Wouldn't using something like Babel remove that issue?

Yup, babel does it too. http://babeljs.io/docs/usage/modules/

The problem is supporting dependencies. You need something that can load everything, which is the functionality that SystemJS provides.
