Where did we mention making programming easier for non-programmers? I think libraries should strive to be as usable as possible to _all_ programmers, which in this case means reducing or eliminating very common operations (such as binding callback functions). When we're talking about working on a large codebase, useless boilerplate is a legimate cost both in productivity and maintenance.

And by this logic, we shouldn't use JSX either.

The wordpress analogy.

I think the complaints you have are valid but should be solved by js, not react.
