Basically every other web stack is "battery included" compared to node.js. It is the only framework having this problem as far as I know. Rails, Django, the java frameworks, net etc, all of them have basically everything you need out of the box.

Why did it become so popular and well adopted if that was the case?

Because a bunch of developers already knew JavaScript from frontend work, and node.js meant that they didn't have to bother learning any other languages to do backend work too.
