Node's lack of a robust standard library results in significant dependency bloat, even for small projects. I often choose other languages (Racket, Python) for most projects because of this. I tend to consider a large number of dependencies as a risk for the stability and maintainability of projects. Through this lens, adding date handling to the standard library can make sense, I think.
