A lot of people use tools like Dependabot which automates updates to the lockfile.


That's unrelated to this.

As well, both Dependabot and Renovate in isolated environments withour secrets or privileges, need to be manually approved, and have minimum publication ages before recommending a package update to prevent basic supply chain attacks or lockfile corruption from a pinned package version being de-published (up to a 3 day window on NPM).
