Brendan Eich:
As noted, they started out that way 17 years ago. I think WebIDL and interface-based method definition made onload, e.g., predefined on window objects, or more recently on Window.prototype. Was this useful? Was it intended specifically (for window, not just intended generally due to WebIDL's uniform rules for binding its definitions in JS)?
I don't think it provides any benefit. Uniformity is the only reason the spec says they should be there, currently.
