They sell “organizations” for $7/month which gives you private packages, and also https://www.npmjs.com/products/enterprise

I always assumed their business model was "Stay afloat till $BIG_CORP acquires us".

I think that is still the business model. The $7 /mo for enterprise is the "Stay Afloat until..." part of that business model

Why? They already own Github which is about to reduce NPM to “feature, not product” status

Why did Facebook buy WhatsApp, or Oracle buy Peoplesoft?

Typically: to enhance their offerings, remove a competitor, or shut it down.
