I agree with this view entirely.  getSomething is a pattern worth keeping
for developer sanity.

JS programmers use short names for these things. Like $() instead of
getElementById.

No, one group of JS programmers do that, it is not representative of the entire industry at all, not one of the numerous multi-tens of thousand line JS projects I've been involved with have done the above, and developer strategies that believe 1 character method names is clear are not going to care one jot what the original name in the DOM is.
