Why does Object.prototype keep making it on those lists? Hands up please if you have used inheritance in JS (or any language) lately.

raises hand. I'm sure most people building frontend applications in js with MVC patterns are using inheritance.

People doing OO-style inheritance in js probably want to go down the ES5 Object.create route, rather than reassigning prototypes.
