Because now there's one way instead of everyone bringing their own createClass/inherits implementation.

Also, prototypical classes like `function User` are now rare in my experience going forward.

In theory. In reality there's everyone bringing their own plus one more.

I think the appeal of JS is that it's a universal runtime, not anything about the language itself. I really wish syntactic changes would be left to transpilation.. because that's what every JS developer is doing anyways.
