Like everything it is deeper than that, I had a cooler response typed up but someone else said it better

"So proto is the actual object that is saved and used as the prototype while Myconstructure.prototype is just a blueprint for proto which, is infact the actual object saved and used as the protoype. Hence myobject.prototype wouldnt be a property of the actual object because its just a temporary thing used by the constructor function to outline what myobject.proto should look like."
