I don't think Facebook/Meta is the beacon of open-source goodness you think it is. The main reason they created yarn instead of iterating on npm is to use their own patent-friendly license they wanted to use with React (before the community flipped out and demanded they re-license it as MIT). Early Vue adoption seemed mostly driven by that React licensing fiasco.

It was huge news when Facebook attempted to change their licensing, and they issued an apology then made it MIT when the community responded. https://meitar.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/facebook_react_is_now_licensed_under_the_mit_license.pdf https://meitar.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/facebook_react...
