I don't see anything there that says Netlify is managing or maintaining the details. The customer provides the package.json, If that file contains a reference to a library or code that introduces bugs or vulnerabilities, it's on the customer. Thus it still puts the burden of maintenance on the customer.

In a managed SaaS installation, the customer would be paying for the functionality of, say, docusaurus, but the company would provide and maintain the dependencies. It's the difference between paying for a server to run a version of mysql you specify and paying a service to run mysql and keep it in a known good configuration while the customer is able to use mysql.
