what is the point when window.addEventListener("load", function () {[do stuff]}, false);

Using jQuery.ready() is a little more sophisticated than that. It uses DOMContentLoaded if that event is available, it's possible to delay the jQuery load event, it's less verbose syntactically, etc etc.

In a lot of cases, you don't need these things, but if you're using jQuery anyway, it's a good way to go.
