because of null prototypes, imo it would be a bad design to ever add another Object.prototype method, even if web compat wasn't a thing

There’s a slightly better adjacent universe where Object.prototype itself is null. (They also have amazing sandwiches.)

If you keep going in that direction, you arrive in another slightly better universe where Object.prototype is void and void === null, then a little farther yet, void == null. This is where the expression null and void comes from. There’s no universe where JavaScript only has one bottom. Sad but true.
