A large standard library is a big part of the solution. Your project may pull in a crypto library that includes password hashing, and an oauth library, and a session management library, but all of those libraries will have few or no dependencies outside of the standard library.

Every time this discussion comes up about JavaScript ecosystem and the "problems" the solution everyone brings to the table is "Have a large standard library"

You know JavaScript doesn't have one, don't you? That is why this "issue" exists. Putting the cat back in the bag is impossible.
