When this was implemented, it was the behavior described by the spec. That's because optional chaining and private named instance fields were spec'ed in parallel and therefore couldn't reference each other's syntax.

The whole thing is discussed in tc39/proposal-optional-chaining#28
The stage 3 proposal for class fields added this syntax in tc39/proposal-class-fields#301
