It seems there's something about the JS system that either encourages very granular/tiny libraries or makes it really easy.

There's other ecosystems like Java+Springboot where you can go 2-3 years only doing minor/patch upgrades without too many changes.

React is on version 18, released in 2011. Springboot is on version 2, released in 2014.

Spring Boot is currently on 3.0.5, but your point stands - the changes are well thought out and the version numbers don't aim at infinity.
