The entire purpose of Object.freeze is that the frozen object *can never be
altered again* (in the ways that freeze restricts, at least). Allowing an
object to be unfrozen would violate that very critical security property.
The same is true with seal and preventExtensions. Once locked down, an
object *must not* be unlockable.
