This is exactly why I blame it :) had it enforced nor using .js for non standard syntax, flow and JSX would have ‘needed’ to provide an alternate extension.
Babel is basically just a single function call called babel.transform that accepts some source text and some options. It's not in a position to have an opinion on file extension, that's the job of the tools that use it.

babel-loader has 4x the downloads of babel-cli, it's not the majority consumer
