Because cargo is a better package manager in every aspect.

It is not. For example, cargo doesn't have namespacing, which makes the issue of name squatting worse. I'd like to have every crate of the tokio-rs organization on Github (https://github.com/tokio-rs) under a @tokio/ namespace or something like that. npm allows that.
Dismissive responses like that are part of why people talk about "blind optimism and fanboy-ism".
A piece of software can only help with some of the less important questions when you're working with many dependencies.
Also there are no namespaces and integration with other languages boils down to writing our own build.rs scripts.
In Rust, when you compile an earlier edition with the newer compiler it actually works
