It all boils down to maintainability.
In my experience the minimalist approach solves much of the complexity of JS by eliminating some features that are not required (performance might be an issue but never had any problems with it in practice).
So why am I not allowed to share something that works just because it may not fully comply with the 'preferred javascript style culture'?
Nobody said you aren't allowed to share it, I simply disagree with you. As I said, I use a very similar pattern in a large project; I've used new/this/prototypal style OOP in other projects; and I prefer the traditional new/this/prototypal style.
