Comment:

 I've decided to close this off with the `wontfix` status as the code is
 incompatible with passive listeners.

 As mentioned above, the event listener uses `event.preventDefault()` to
 stop browsers from following the link. Using a passive listener would
 result in browsers following the link.

 Discussion can continue on closed tickets but unless browser behavior
 changes to allow both passive listeners and preventing the default action,
 the dev-tools report remains a false positive.
