Adding lots of small, trivial packages is totally optional though.


For some reason I inherited a project that has tons of such packages, this include popular at that time frameworks and dev tools. Din't leftpad prove that the node community was and still doing this bad thing. Sure I have the option to have 0 dependencies but if you inherit an old node project the chance the project depends on a few bad packages is 100%


Not as optional as it would be if Node had a standard library to speak of.
