The number of node packages there are is deceptive when it comes to measuring the js ecosystem. It's better to count how many packages are well referenced, which might be a number as low as 10k.

But even if the library is not used, once it's on NPM, the name is taken.

Not really, if a library is truly empty in NPM just contact NPM and they are nice enough and will give you the name if you are going to use it.

You can scope modules under your name. e.g. `@makenova/panda`
