Here you assume that more people know about make than npm or yarn, which I wouldn't bet on.

Besides, I would guess that every JavaScript developer when jumping on the new project will know how to use npm, just like every Java developer would know enough maven, and adding some supposedly general standard tool on top of already standard tools in that area wouldn't help.

Many only know Gradle.

True, but maybe 1% knows make. And since many of them run Windows, many don't even know how to install the correct version of make on their development box.
