The network is the base library - that is the shift you are seeing. You make a call out to a network address with a specific protocol.
Also, as an aside, I think WebAssembly has the potential to shift this back. In a world where libraries and programs are compiled to WebAssembly, it doesn't matter what their source language was, and as such, the client library based approach might swing back into vogue.
