Absolutely. And, to an extent, workflows (used to) promote publishing your own packages for ease of access. Separate something out of your code? Why not push it straight to npm?

Curation is necessary in many ways, and hosting your own package repository is a bar usually not taken unless you reach a certain size. This has gotten better, particularly with more sensible defaults and different workflows (node generators have helped hugely), but we still see the impact.
