Believe it or not even large teams can effectively constrain package adoption without abandoning NPM altogether.
Just because you haven't seen it doesn't mean everyone who has must be new to the field.

Some teams just use javascript and opt for zero dependencies too, these teams are also an extreme minority. You can't have an earnest discussion about react if you're going to argue that no one pulls in a myriad of other dependencies. Even the react docs recommend you use frameworks when starting out: https://react.dev/learn/start-a-new-react-project https://react.dev/learn/start-a-new-react-project Your usage, while quite admirable (I earnestly mean that too, I wish I was on a team that was disciplined enough to only use react and nothing else), isn't the common experience.
- 9rx 2y ago> Why is bringing up the minority use case helpful in these discussions? It was presented as a challenge to the status quo. As you point out, a majority of developers don't ever think twice about including everything and the kitchen sink. The idea that you don't have to do that may not be novel information to you, but is to a large number of developers. If they don't hear it here, where are they going to hear it?
