While NPM is open source, it's in the awkward spot of also having... probably hundreds of thousands if not millions of professional applications depend on it; it should be run like a business, because millions depend on it.
...which makes it all the weirder that security isn't any better, as in, publishing a package can be done without a review step on the npm side, for example. I find it strange that they haven't doubled down on enterprise offerings, e.g. creating hosted versions (corporate proxies), reviewed / validated / LTS / certified versions of packages, etc.
