For what purpose other than feeling smug?

To shame the community into doing something, maybe.

Would you shame a child for making a mistake? Shame should be reserved for malice and nefarious action with intent.

Got it, so we should treat the npm community as a child, right?

I would shame an adult who keeps making mistakes that are massively impactful on many others. Given npm's scope within the tech world, there's no way they can be fairly described as a "child". They're a hugely significant entity, and need to act like it.

It's not just shaming for a mistake - it's shaming for repeatedly making mistakes because they're too lazy to implement a mistake-preventing solution.

Yeah, I would shame a child for a repeated reckless mistake.
