Node apps tend to depend on a far, far wider pool of maintainers.

To illustrate: A new Ruby on Rails app has 1/10th the number of maintainers in its dependency list than a new create-react-app codebase.

A create-react-app app is not a node app (It has a node dev server, but it's a front-end JS app), so its a weird thing to reach for to illustrate a point about node apps.
