That is kind of the role filled by "npm" and "yarn". They are obviously a lot different from OS package managers, but ultimately they solve a parallel type of problem for the web.

A development package managers is part of how the developer builds the application. A user package manager is how the consumer of the application installs it while also managing all the shared libraries and installing security updates for each of the pieces.
