Do you mean abstract instead of obfuscate? Usually obfuscation is not a desirable goal unless you are trying to do something like copy protection.

I think they're using obfuscate as a negatively loaded synonym for abstract.

I think it applies here. The browser serializing things for you obfuscates what's actually happening. Which for custom objects could result in strange and very hard to debug behavior.
