Why don't using shorter method, or it not a good option?

...add this piece of code to the previous task :

    button.addEventListener('click', (e) => {
        ul.removeChild(li);
    })

the whole code will be:

const form = document.getElementById('registrar');
const input = form.querySelector('input');
const ul = document.getElementById('invitedList');


form.addEventListener('submit', (e) => {
  e.preventDefault();
  const text = input.value;
  input.value = '';
  const li = document.createElement('li');
  li.textContent = text;
  const label = document.createElement('label');
  label.textContent = 'Confirmed';
  const checkbox = document.createElement('input');
  checkbox.type = 'checkbox';
    const button = document.createElement('button');
    button.innerText = 'Remove';
  label.appendChild(checkbox);
  li.appendChild(label);
  li.appendChild(button);
  ul.appendChild(li);
    button.addEventListener('click', (e) => {
        ul.removeChild(li);
    })
});

ul.addEventListener('change', (e) => {
  const checkbox = event.target;
  const checked = checkbox.checked;
  const listItem = checkbox.parentNode.parentNode;

  if (checked) {
    listItem.className = 'responded';
  } else {
    listItem.className = '';
  }
});

This will certainly do the job, by attaching a separate click handler to each button.

But the example in the video creates a single delegated handler that will work for all the buttons, even ones created later.

There may not be much difference in this example, but it's good to know both techniques so you can choose the one that works best in a particular situation.
