This wouldn't be much of a problem if developers weren't as reliant on frameworks as JS developers are — who for some reason love to blame others for "reinventing the wheel". What do people even use lodash for? Do you really need a whole library because you can't write a function to sort an array? This all reminds me of the npm left-pad scandal. To me the problem was not that a single package broke thousands of projects, but that thousands of developers depended on a package for such a simple feature.
