Seems to me the only reason for these kind of dependencies to exist in the first place is that people really, really, really, REALLY can't code.

Well javascript is the default language of the web, so no surprise it attracts a lot of newbies.

Yeah but if noobs use it as a dependency, who made the package?

And what projects are noobs working on that trigger 440GB of weekly traffic?

I fear most noobs remain noobs.

Don't ask me, all these one-line packages are ridiculous, cause greater issues than whatever they solve, and are (part of) the reason why js and it's ecosystem are not considered seriously by other developers.
