Question Why do Visual Elements don't have a method to remove themselves?

I'm mostly just curious why we have to pass through the parent to delete an element. It's entirely possible I'm missing something, but basically to remove an element, I usually do something like:

Code (CSharp):

1. VisualElement someElement = Doc.Q("selector");
2. someElement.parent.Remove(someElement);

Is there a better way? Why can't I just do

Code (CSharp):

1. someElement.Remove();

Thanks.

 

Idk how I missed that, it was right there in VS autocompletion. Thanks
