Limits that affect the decision
The public registry is a database of JavaScript packages and metadata, but presence or downloads do not prove active production use, retention, or willingness to buy.; The registry is globally used, but the cited documentation does not provide geographic representativeness or country-level coverage; it only covers packages present in the public npm registry.; Metadata and package contents change as maintainers publish updates; the cited page does not promise a fixed historical snapshot or complete historical download series.
Release cadence was not normalized in this review; check the source's dates, update notes, and API limits before comparing periods.
