The trouble is that yarn is legitimately better than npm. My life is better as a developer because of yarn. I'm not claiming that all those transitions were for the best, far from it, but the real question for any language community to answer is: "how much churn is acceptable in the pursuit of better?" JS is an ongoing cultural experiment in seeing what happens when you turn that dial to 11.

That's irrelevant in many ways. non-javascript languages deal with this by improving the existing tools. And realistically speaking, yarn is not a discernable improvement over npm. The cultural experiment has a huge cost to programmers and it's been an utter disaster. Even PHP has leapfrogged javascript.
