Wait, didn't we install frontend stuff like css frameworks via bower? I feel kinda out of the loop.

Within the past year or so, the frontend community has chosen npm to deliver frontend dependencies.

For what possible reason? I'm eternally out of touch with what mainstream front-end devs seem to think is a good idea.

Because npm is a package manager that most devs already need present for their front-end build step (to install their deps for gulp/grunt/browserify etc) , and bower is an 'extra' thing that addressed a need that no longer exists.
