You mean the feature that was gated behind an opt-in switch called `experimentalDecorators' and documented from the start with "Experimental support for decorators is a feature that is subject to change in a future release"?

This was only really added to appease Google and Angular 2.0.

Yeah Microsoft didn’t want AtScript to steal the little thunder TypeScript had at the time, but we’re still left with that one experimental feature all over Angular codebases.
People who chase "new, shiny" often get rewarded with stupid prizes.
