Which package manager has the scale of JS and isn't hosted by a commercial entity?

apt, pacman, pip, and others. You can have large scale systems that aren't dependent on a commercial entity.

I mean, the scale of pacman is miniscule compared to NPM. PyPI is hosted by AWS and Google.

Not sure how APT works in the linux community can really work for anyone else, but definitely worth a shot for sure.
