I agree that this isn't totally specific to JavaScript. It's just that the ecosystem is very extensive and so there are a lot of packages, because you don't need to write your own code for a lot of existing problems.

There is perhaps a something about the JavaScript audience tending to attract less advanced implementers. So you end up with a lot of otherwise considered trivial and low-quality utilities being published and pulled down from the registry.

Rust and Go tend to be for more advanced scenarios where things like performance, security and support matters tremendously.
