because literally just putting them in a folder somehow became insufficient for any number of reasons, some of which seem to have to do with JS's lack of an include() function like every other interpreted language has had since forever

like, how about i don't need 20,000 dependancies, and just use an application stack that includes normal things like trimming a string

This has been solved by ES Modules, which is already in all major browsers. Only IE is lagging behind (but there are polyfills).
