So I have to take a shell dependency on Node.js?

Hard pass

I don't mind it, it's just another runtime that works on Linux and BSD. I have my neovim infected with extensions made in Node.js, Python, Lua, my weechat is infected with extensions made in Python, Perl, Node.js, and my zsh is infected with extensions with components made in Rust, C, and Python. Just make sure to pay attention to shell start times and RAM usage.
Maybe the users don’t care about their devices
Haha, I though the same...

> npm install

NEXT!
