I'd say it's lack of barriers to entry, boot camp ninjas that maintain dozens of packages.

The fact that some newbie would upload is-odd[1] to npm doesn't surprise me. The fact that it has half a million weekly downloads - it's blind leading the blind.

And framework complexity - I find that consistent with mid level programmers being fascinated by complex solutions and top scale teams needing to deal with the pile of shit they are building on (DOM/JS)

If you're a satisfied user of is-odd, you may be interested in is-is-odd[1].

1 weekly download - not impressed. Should have PR-ed it into some third level dependency of Angular or something.
