    ES6 cannot support require as a function that synchronously loads

Without a new extension, you cannot "import" from an old-style module in the browser or the server. One must know a priori how to parse the file before one parses the file. Old-style modules cannot (in general) be parsed as ES6 modules, and ES6 modules (in general) cannot be parsed as old-style modules.

Yes, so?

My argument was that Node.js has both non-module and module files with a common suffix, .js.

You are mixing compatibility with "consistency" arguments.
