so what the point of introducing a "private" access modifier that doesnt exist in javascript since one can still access privates? looks like pure politics within google.

A breaking change like that shoved at the latest minute? you bet it is.

why didnt you think about having this feature optional? class based controllers are optional yet,because of them you introduce a feature that affect function based controllers ?

Opt-in security features aren't very useful.

That's how competing constraints work out sometimes.

We're always looking to improve though. The code is open source, so feel free to submit a PR or fork it if you disagree. :)
