Is it? Not only is it less work, but generally makes the code way easier to reason about. In this case, instead of just seeing simple function calls explaining the logic flow, you visually have to parse all this weird extra cruft that is generally irrelevant to what the block is doing.

Yes, code golf practiced for any reason other than the sheer joy of it is "stupid." It especially doesn't belong in production code. If typing is really so bad, there are any number of local agents that are competent to finish that map fragment for you.

It's not about "sheer joy", nor obfuscation. It's about making code easier to write and easier to grok.
