Please Update Old ESRI JavaScript API Samples

I’m confused – why does ESRI insist on keeping JavaScript API samples written in a legacy (non-AMD) module require style? I can understand keeping the legacy code in the API reference since a lot of developers probably wrote a lot of code using it. But current sample code should reflect current programming styles. And yes, the samples I’m talking about are the current ones.

Somebody actually goes in and updates the CDN reference to the current JavaScript API. Would it be that difficult to convert the requires to an AMD wrapper and change a few module references? Just a thought.
