Oh yea let's build an OS where we can just import our kernel-mode drivers from the repository of quality code that is NPM. I mean what could possibly go wrong, right?

I'm sorry but we need less NodeJS and JavaScript in this world, not more.

You're just picking something to hate and it's not even correct.

It's not true that OS==kernel. The kernel is Linux, and this is replacing the GNU stuff around it with something else. The result is a new kind of OS. But nobody said that any privileged code will be written in JS.
