It's insanity all the way down to the copper on the board frankly. People only care about making things more sane when you can prove there's a dollar to be made or saved by doing so. Like we all know nodjs is slow(er than other things). The question is not how to make it faster by doing things like keeping dependencies up to date but how much there is to gain by doing so. I suspect very little.
