> I don't understand how Maven's YOLO is different from NPM's range.

The person who wrote the range selected a range that they deem likely to work.

I don't use NPM, but in Python it definitely happens that you see e.g.:

  foo >= 0.3.4, <= 0.5.6
Which can save a lot of headaches early on for packages that use ZeroVer[1]
