Yeah const and Object.freeze() are not exactly the most intuitive depending on your level of JavaScript internals knowledge (and even then I don't think const is very intuitive but I digress).

Fair enough! I would just caution trying to make complex objects immutable; it can be handy if you're developing a library and don't trust the dev on the other side (to a degree, copying may be preferable depending on the context) but it can complicate things and lead to some performance and development pattern issues.
