I could also work if Deno had to offer more than what Node does, while being compatible. People would start using Deno and then start using Deno specific things which are not compatible with Node. Long shot though.

yes. however Deno is the opposite of that. Typescript for example got adoption so fast because it was extremely easy to use typescript + javascript. Deno, however, inherently was against the node and npm sort of model. this makes sense in some sense since node does have a bunch of legacy cruft. however node is extremely popular and for adoption they need to support certain node features, and thus inherent the cruft. with each new adoption it makes less sense to use deno. I expect deno to convert all of their features to node modules and simply be an opinionated stack, similar to create-react-app vs. next.js. The path they're entertaining now isn't really tenable.
