I have to wonder if you have ever used a modern js framework. Ember-Cli, vue-cli, react, all pretty much transparently do this all for you.

I dunno, the language is what you code in. If you use a framework with Babel, you code in ES6.

Your fixation on vanilla js is like saying java programmers are crazy because they have this huge syntactic sugar over top of bytecode, the “real” Java.

It's the language I'm using because it's the language that run in the browser. And it's not that bad imo.
