Meh, I feel like this is somewhat inevitable. People love talking about clean breaks and how NPM is evil and left-pad, but nobody wants to write their own packages. It's probably the biggest blocker for adoption for any language or tool. If there's no mature libraries for authentication on Deno, am I going to roll up my sleeves and reimplement JWTs, or am I going to sigh and switch to Node? For a lot of tools they're stuck with people who will do the former, and then finally, after enough libraries are built, they start getting the people who do the latter.
Because as much as there are loud voices on the internet decrying packages, most people are not so ideologically focused. They just want to get their code written. Packages help and so they use packages. Plus most of the loud voices neglect to offer any solution other than "packages are bad!!!"
