If you obfuscate client side javascript that is being served in a browser you should get banned from the internet
Sure, you can de-obfuscate JS but you can also reverse engineer other software.
Very few users may even want to do this (perhaps none), but in theory it's a nice thing that has historically been made possible by the web. Unlike binaries or backend code, the user gets the source themselves to run in their browser... fine, if you want to obfuscate it you can, but I think it's fair for users to also dislike websites that do this.
I'm not talking about minifiers/bundlers which are used to make the content more user-friendly, I'm specifically talking about steps taken to make the web less accessible and less free.
I can understand the desire to be able to vet code that a website wants to run on your device. I don't see why that preference should create an imperative for websites to either accommodate you or be banned from the internet.
