So do you actually agree or disagree that there's something wrong with npm? It reads as if you were playing both sides, just to land on blaming the individual each time.

Even if this was actually some weirdly written plea to shared responsibility, surely it makes sense that in a hierarchy, one would proritize trying to fix things upstream closer to the root, rather than downstream closer to the leaves, doesn't it?

They're very clearly implying a semantic disagreement there, not making a logical mistake.
