Oh yeah, just like leftpad was not a technical issue. But it's still a good analogy of a big problem the JS community has.

I think leftpad was a bit different. Programming in JS you often need some dependencies. You could start from scratch and do everything in your own, but that's a huge time / resources sink. Using docker you can always start from scratch and it's barely any harder than using some huge starting image.
