Nowadays, most JS is uglified/minified on build anyway. I believe that times when after-build JS code was readable for the end user are long gone.

Actually, this format is much more readable than minifed JS, as it maintains variable names, etc (there is a proposal to also support comments without meaningful loss of performance).
Of course, this does not prevent developers from minifying/uglifying the JS code first, if they so decide.
