Fetching code at runtime over the network makes sense in a browser, it doesn’t make sense outside of a browser and would actually be a huge security risk without all of the security features that browsers have. So it just reinforces the perception that ESM was only designed for browsers. Both TC39 and node utterly cocked this up. The design of ESM is bad, async imports are a stupid idea, and node’s implementation has been beset by ideology.
