In my view it is objectively wrong to create trivial npm packages yes. If we look at the npm ecosystem as a commons, that person is polluting it. Of course you could say it's namespaced to one account, so what's the harm? In my view, plenty:
- package searches will show these packages due to the inflated usage from transient deps.
- installs are slower due to the package noise.
- increased attack surface when they are used
- cultural normalization of throwaway packages
Probably more.
