Nobody's just reading your code

This is a normal feeling. But one weakness of this approach for javascript is that it's easier to become popular because you have a much larger base of developers.

That makes sense. I use Python the for most part. I feel like I have seen this happen with old libraries where they used to be very popular and maintained then became abandoned a few years ago.

That can be okay. Depending on the nature of the library it might legitimately be "done."

Personally, I would rather see this than a bug fix being committed every week. That makes me question how many more bugs there are and how much I'm going to have to babysit updating the dependency.

That's a great point. Hmmm... I wasn't considering that. Oops. I'm glad I mentioned it! Thanks!
