It's a useful counterexample because the problem didn't exist for the 20 years before legions of nodejs bros descended upon it and bestowed upon us the mess of hot garbage it is today. At this point, there is an entire half of the ecosystem which is unusable unless you drink the 400 dependency kool aide.
It's as far a way from a general-purpose language as it can get while technically still being one, in both scope and intended use/audience.
