I remember this incident and it is one of many reasons I was turned off by the entire JS ecosystem.

How come this is related to JS only? Like, if I own a python/rust/go/whatever public package named XYZ and later a company named XYZ forces me to release the package because of trademark issues, and I cannot do but obey, all my packages may run the same luck, so anybody relying on them would be screwed.

I don’t see how the size of the package matters here.

To your point, in JVM the convention is to package based on domain name so you don't have this type of issue.

But I think the GP's point is that the cultural in other ecosystems didn't lean as heavily into "there's a package for that®" as JS does

I think the issue is that JS force you to have hundreds, or even thousands, dependencies. Python and other language have a richer std library and more "general purpose" packages, so the total number of dependencies is lower.
