Docker and go use URLs/paths for scoping, everything is scoped.
Java/Scala/Kotlin/XText/etc use reversed domains as scope.
And so on.

And even ecosystems that did go through that trouble, they weren't nearly at the scale that npm is. We can talk about how awful of an idea it was for npm to start the way they did all we want, but the reality is that they are in the position of unscoped packages being the "default" right now, and I'd love for them to get away from them in a safe manner.
