That's not very surprising. I think what's surprising is the perception of RubyGems, PyPI, etc is much better than npm's when there are common problems. There's an element of suffering from success but some of the problems have been around in RubyGems and PyPI before Node/npm took off and those were seen as the hot technologies.

This isn't necessarily a bad thing, but it results in a somewhat different set of issues.
