I disagree that this is something that doesn't happen often.
var a = {
{ b, c, d, e } = B
};
I believe that this would be more consistent with the object destructoring
since it now uses the = sign and looks like it encapsulates a descructure with
{} which is like how the shorthand works

It's shorter to write, sure. But we can come up with special-purpose
ways to shorten code all day.
This proposal is not consistent with the existing shorthand syntax, or
the object-destructuring syntax it also somewhat resembles. It's
unique, while looking very similar to existing syntax, and for a
relatively small case (extracting a subset of the properties of an
object into another object, with the same key names). That's usually
not a recipe for success. :(
