I don't really agree with this at all. If someone writes open source software and wants to put it on npm they should. Dont worry about how popular it will be or if it is used at all. If you have an idea publish it. If later you find something better use that instead. The same could be said for dev.to. If you have something to say post it. Don't spend time worrying about what other people think. Just post it.

Java has 17 million package according to mvnrepository.com and I think that is a good thing.
