This code is the last piece[1] of the viewer that's not using standard `class`es, and by converting this code we get rid of some now unneeded boilerplate code (slightly reducing the size of the *built* `web/viewer.js` file).
Note that while this code was originally imported from a separate repository, it was last sync-ed with upstream *five years* ago which is why this re-factoring should be OK as far as I'm concerned (and we've done some other clean-up since then as well).

[1] Technically the `web/debugger.js` file is left as well, however that code is first of all not bundled in the *built* `web/viewer.js` file and secondly it's not even loaded by default either.
