I don't know anyone who writes professional level code that uses packages like that. Sure, they exist. I'm sure you could find other simple, funny packages across other ecosystems. Yes, the micro-packages can be too granular but that's no fault of the author nor the creators of npm. It's the result of people doing stupid stuff just like people have for decades before. The difference is that these micro-packages are more visible on npm and everyone wants their chance to say "yup, I wrote that module."
