But what is the real downside of me of me using it?

The overhead of setting up NPM, some repo when I can achieve the same thing with that snippet, seems just to over the top.

What overhead? You don’t run any optimization step on your code? I haven’t seen a single front end project without package.json in years in all the companies I consulted for, and I don’t even deal with fancy frameworks.

I don't code in node, nor am I a developer. The overhead of using a package manager, when I can copy and paste just feels unnecessarily.

The web projects that I work on are rendered at the server and then that is displayed to the client.
