But in this case (as in many others), code is written just a couple of times per month, and executed millions of times per day in millions of computers all around the world.
Therefore this kind of "low level JavaScript"* optimizations will have a net benefit much, much bigger than the convenience of reading shorter code for a relatively small group of people.
