I agree and unfortunately that attitude is spreading beyond the JS community. A great example is the issue newcomers to Common Lisp face. I don't want to get in specifics regarding the Lisp community here but one common complaint is that only "old libraries" are available and no recent releases. Side note: Although I'm not sure it initially started in the JS community, it is by far the most affected community. Besides that issue it also suffers from Not Invented Here syndrome.
