it does seem like pnpm is trying to keep up with the competition, but the competition only exists because it is no longer just a package manager. at this point i'm not sure what the competition is, though

Yea, my take is that pnpm is a good default of what NPM is supposed to do. And if NPM were to uptake its core ideas then I think it would be alright for pnpm to evolve to something different.

What is it then?

good question! 😅 given it is trying to manage more and more things (github actions, node versions, etc.) - maybe nub/vite+/bun-like? but those each do a bit of their own thing too
