No. It is a result of a practical, engineering perspective. I love theory. It's necessary for moving the world forward. I also love getting things to work. Three quarters of NPM packages are CJS. Several of them are ones I wrote. The reason they are not ESM is that the theoretically pure folks had control and I voted with my fingers because everything I do has to fit in my a substantial amount of existing CJS code. Arguing for practical solutions that accommodate an imperfect world is absolutely correct.
