Some targets are more valuable than others. A firewall product has obvious security value. The fact that it requires high privilege is another reason.

I have the same thoughts about other Mac apps. e.g. iTerm2 - cause they "see" so much sensitive data.

iTerm doesn't use NPM. Little Snitch doesn't use NPM. I don't use NPM.
