That is because properties are not part of a function, but part of a

the function in the property list scatters the information and makes it
impossible to use the actual function rather than the referring symbol.

Could you please tell when this is practically a problem?

But we are talking right now about _functions_.  And it is a mistake to
consider the property list part of either variable or function: it has
different scopes and is independent from both variable or function.

It has independent scope but is normally used for the variable or the function.
