js developers had this idea of "1 function = 1 library" for a really long time, and "NEVER REIMPLEMENT ANYTHING". So they will go and import a library instead of writing a 5 line function, because that's somehow more maintainable in their mind. Then of course every library is allowed to pin its own dependencies. So you can have 15 different versions of the same thing, so they can change API at will. I poked around some electron applications. I've found .h files from openssl, executables for other operating systems, megabytes of large image files that were for some example webpage, in the documentation of one project. They literally have no idea what's in there at all.
