The main issue here is that you're sort of asking for something too late. If you reference the "notThis" keyword inside a callback method that has been separated from "its own" class instance, you're now saying "could you please do this all in the context of your instance", but your method doesn't know what its instance is because it never saved a reference.
Alternatively the compiler would notice that the "notThis" keyword is invoked inside a method, and automatically make a bound property on construction. The problem is that you're eagerly making a copy of every method using "notThis" for every instance that exists - eating up a whole bunch of extra memory for large collections - without knowing necessarily that those bound copies will be used. Granted, we're triggering the same problem when folks are using "class property arrow methods" for all their methods in React classes.
