Npm standardized package management for Node. But that itself is the problem.

I see your point, however. As applications grow one wants to be able to understand dependencies easy and for the better or worse package.json was fulfilling that function really well.

Personally I think URL imports can become really important when one builds a service containing several serverless functions. In the case of stateless services, you do not want to write a REST API. So they can just be replaced with a script hosted on S3. Publishing to npm would be in that case too much of an overhead.
