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.
