Re: [whatwg/dom] AbortSignal consumers can potentialy emit abort event on it (#784)

> Browsers don't even use this behavior

Browsers don't use `.then()` all the time either, iirc, so I'm not sure why the comparison with promises doesn't hold.

And reusing existing patterns is primarily done to avoid introducing new categories of bugs and design issues. If there's a better way to do something, it'll get popular and eventually adopted (see promises), but thus far that hasn't happened for events.
