That's probably quite accurate for front-end projects which pull in a ton of packages for 1. A compatibility layer wih older browsers. 2. Build tooling.
Node projects tend to have a lot smaller dependency graphs.
(I'm actually not sure if it is the average but my anecdotal experience is that it's an order of magnitude higher than python, and 1200 wouldn't be unusual).
