From memory the NPM blokes had to have a think about how they handle important packages because of that. Didn't they revert the changes to left pad to ensure everything else didn't break?

Fascinating to see the house of cards some of these solutions / libraries are built off

Yes. They added it back. The policy now is that you can't remove packages that are depended on (or something to that extent, I don't know the specifics).
