The constructor idea was already discussed here for a long time [1], but if I understand correctly it wasn’t approved due to performance issues.

For the record, we don't need "an approval" from anyone to use the constructor instead of createdCallback().  As far as I understand the matter, we have never reached a consensus on this matter because we, representatives of Apple, have explicitly endorsed createdCallback() meanwhile representatives from some browser vendors have not endorsed using the constructor for custom elements.
