When I'm writing a C program I can somehow depend on only one library for password hashing and one for oauth (maybe two if it also needs curl). In javascript land it's probably a couple dozen, probably from a couple dozen different people.

It's not two if you need curl. Curl have a large number of dependencies, only difference is that it's visible with npm.

How many developers write C programs versus how many developers write JS apps?

Without accounting for that, your comparison makes no sense! Not even mentioning that you’re comparing two very different level languages. A low level language like C would never behave like a high er level language
