npm is certainly not something everyone has.

Not everyone it's a web developer. Sysadmin and system programmers (and older millenials) don't care and don't want to install anything related to NPM.

Friends don't let friends install npm

I am certainly one of the cane-waving "older millenials".

It is something some of us avoid.
