And if none of the alternatives implemented in your addEventListener() 
wrapper would apply, the button would be non-functional.

By comparison, using the standards-compliant “onclick” attribute, the button 
would always be functional (if there was script support; actually, *this* 
button should be generated with scripting to avoid a non-functional widget; 
the alternative is using a form where the “submit” event is handled and, if 
necessary, canceled.)

And for what?  Misguided cleanliness.  The functionality of the button is 
tied to the button.  It does not make sense to separate them this way.
