It means Npm always wanted to be the "one true source" for nodejs code. No matter who wrote the code.

No interest in mirrors from day one.

Npm sold out to Microsoft and got paid. All that free community effort to stop Npms "crashiness" got sold to Microsoft for dollar.

Nodejs went to the Linux foundation.

Npm went to Microsoft.

Suprised?

That's not what I asked.

You said they controlled nodejs, and that they somehow earned money by controlling nodejs. I think that neither of those has ever been the case.
