How hard is it to understand that Node.js is a JavaScript runtime with access to the filesystem? I don’t understand most of your complaints. Web-ext does not need Visual Studio, it installs just fine on macOS. You should open an issue if you can’t install it on Windows. Also deprecations happen frequently on npm so, while they’re annoying during instal, they’re not really a big deal, modules still work.
