.on() and why JS cannot call future stuffs?

I'm struggling with on()'s use and meaning. One thing that I cannot understand is, I've learned that in Javascript, future stuffs like named function can be implemented in a past function. And that flexibility is a great thing in Javascript differentiated from other languages. I don't remember how exactly call that feature. But why click() or other events that used as a with on() doesn't be applied to this feature ? why do we have to use .on() eventhough there is these feature in JS??

Hi, as per my knowledge by using on(), we can add multiple events for a single element. In fact we can turn off the event handler by using off().
