My concern with npm packages isn't the number and small size of the packages itself, but that most of them are maintained and owned by individuals who do work with little review by others and who could disappear any time. If an individual goes away or takes harmful action it takes time till this is noticed and till a surviving fork emerges.

If more libraries were maintained by groups in a shared/collaborative way, more of those risks would go away.
