My hypothesis is the JavaScript ecosystem is like 50:5:1 of junior : intermediate: expert contributors.
That's why there's so much "fuck it, I'll make a new project from scratch!" and "screw conventions I'm making a breaking change". Those are frankly very junior attitudes, and they feel more common in JavaScript land.
I don't have any data to back this, but it's my guess.
That or the ecosystem is just so polluted with bad ideas, people aren't learning good practices.
