Skipping contentious stuff (some of which, e.g. "classes as sugar", I
agree with -- and so does TC39) to get to this paragraph:

The [[Get]] and [[Set]] (and probably some others) internal methods of a proxy never
call the corresponding trap when the property key is a private Symbol. Instead, they
trace the [[Target]] chain of the proxy until a non-proxy object is reached (call this
the "ultimate target"). It then invokes the ultimate target's [[Gett]]/[[Set]]
using that same private Symbol key. The result of that operation is then returned as the
value of the original [[Get]]/[[Set]].
The "private" state access is applied to the correct object and there is no
exposure of the private symbol!
If I want to proxy for a date instance I might rather have @@DateValue
available and passed as a name to get and set traps, so I can keep my
own time number, and not have to delegate to a Date prototype that has
the right milliseconds since the Epoch.
Perhaps you're in favor of that in addition? But if so, how would one
proxy such that the @@DateValue symbol was the name parameter to get and
set traps?
