I had to maintain a node.js back-end server a few years back. It was a nightmare of dependencies. I had to hold many libraries back, because upgrading would break something.
That's not a Node.js issue, that's a whoever built it originally issue. There's no rule in Node.js/JavaScript that you have to add a ton of deps. Culturally it's popular, sure, but that shouldn't be pinned on the runtime.
