Object Descriptors & Property Flags

What benefit does Object.create() provide in this example?

function createPerson(name) {
  return Object.create(Object.prototype, {
    name: {
      value: name,
      writable: false,
      enumerable: true,
      configurable: false
    },
    toString: {
      value: function() { return `Person: ${this.name}`; },
      writable: false,
      enumerable: false,
      configurable: false
    }
  });
}

It makes objects faster to access
It creates objects with specific prototypes and property descriptors in one operation
Object.create() in this example provides the benefit of creating objects with specific prototypes and property descriptors in one operation: 1) It allows setting the object's prototype (Object.prototype in this case), 2) It allows defining properties with complete descriptors during object creation, 3) It eliminates the need for separate Object.defineProperties() calls, 4) It creates a clean, declarative way to fully specify an object's structure, 5) All properties have precisely controlled behaviors from creation, 6) This pattern is memory-efficient and clearly expresses intent, 7) It's particularly useful for creating objects with non-standard property behaviors.
It prevents inheritance issues
It allows private methods
