That's handled by shadow dom event retargeting. When the events pass over the boundary of the component the target becomes the component itself instead of the input.

Yea, that’s been my biggest problem. The target is now different, so I can’t call event.target.value

Right, if you want `value` to be part of the public interface of your component you need to add a value property to expose it.
