Tools like Sentry parse them, and need consistent fast performance in this area. Other debugging tools use them.

Your statement in brackets seems very "those damn kids"-ish. You need to "minify" your JS files even if you're shipping a small amount of JS, because loading performance matters and JS minifies very well.

Browsers also use them do display "expanded" code in the console and debugger.
