Yes, code golf practiced for any reason other than the sheer joy of it is "stupid." It especially doesn't belong in production code. If typing is really so bad, there are any number of local agents that are competent to finish that map fragment for you.
It's not about "sheer joy", nor obfuscation. It's about making code easier to write and easier to grok.
