That’s a nice move you do here. Node claimed guilty for implementing the least sucking module system at the time, then growing its NPM size to the skies, and now when there is a ready-to-use module for every task out there, let’s raise a finger and claim they were doing it wrong. Uh oh.

Web standards are goddamn late for 20 (twenty) years and it’s not their moral right to decide what should be broken or deprecated, sitting on the top of the mountain of working code which a workhorse named “node” produced in less than a decade.

So what would you have had TC39 do, just never standardize a module system because Node made one first that was incompatible with the web?
