I think you’re underselling it. You’ve listed several projects with many thousand man hours in development.

It’s telling that in Python there have been multiple package managers over the years to fix the broken status quo. Typescript/Javascript notwithstanding, in other languages and environments you get the one tool that’s been there for over a decade without competitors.
