Comment:

 It's worth noting that the `wp-includes/js/jquery/jquery.js` file is an
 already minified version of the library.

 This is also a unique situation because WordPress is stuck on jQuery
 1.12.4 (which is unmaintained by the jQuery team) until all compatibility
 issues are addressed in #37110. There may be a slight sacrifice of
 performance, but the version bundled with WordPress is more secure.

 I agree with @azaozz that this is definitely a non-standard way to use the
 version property of a script. If this usage was encouraged, there would be
 a `wp_get_enqueued_script_version()` or something similar to retrieve the
 version.

 Marking as a `close` candidate, but leaving open for others to weigh in.
