>In most sane environments, like for example native languages, this is already the case. Installing a node package is much more like compiling a dll, not downloading it. The same is true for most package managers that exist for C and C++ as languages as opposed to for an OS. These are two different tools for different use-cases. (though still pretty much all installation processes for all OSs involve an opportunity for arbitrary code execution, as well, apart from just downloading a zip file and extracting it, which is not the norm)
