why does event listener have to be on form react code example

Example 1: onclick react

function ActionLink() {
  function handleClick(e) {    e.preventDefault();    console.log('The link was clicked.');  }
  return (
    <a href="#" onClick={handleClick}>      Click me
    </a>
  );
}

Example 2: react event listener

onClick onContextMenu onDoubleClick onDrag onDragEnd onDragEnter onDragExit
onDragLeave onDragOver onDragStart onDrop onMouseDown onMouseEnter onMouseLeave
onMouseMove onMouseOut onMouseOver onMouseUp
