Also the JavaScript developer community is so huge, that it is simply inevitable for there to be more libraries than in other languages. Plus inherently-official tooling (f.e. npm) is a lot better than, for example, working with C libs or Maven in Java, etc, so it has become so simple to publish libraries in the JS ecosystem. Plus, no matter how well some library achieves something, someone else will want to make their own just for the heck of it, just for fun.
