Ironically, it's possible every browser includes this already internally, but doesn't expose it to Javascript [0].

Packages still have their place, but the lack of a decent standard library will hurt us for decades to come (already is arguably).

This. People often have a beef with the very wild npm ecosystem with tons of libs of varying quality, abandonned projects, bloated libs, etc but mostly it comes down to the standard library being anemic.
