Not sure I agree. NPM as a technology is actually pretty decent and fast. The biggest issue is that package.json doesn't allow comments. Webpack is shit. But there are good alternatives to it now - primarily esbuild.
I'd take that build system over Java's dog slow build systems any day. Just a shame about the JS ecosystem itself. Too many badly written libraries not written in Typescript (inexcusable these days) with a gazillion dependencies.
