Well, from recent experience they could make “npm audit” usable without having to use a third party library like “better npm audit”. There’s no filtering or configuration at all. There are so many unimportant or irrelevant vulnerabilities reported that I have no doubt that people just ignore auditing because they don’t consider the 1000 high severity DoS vulnerabilities they can’t ignore relevant for their CLI app. =/

The tradeoff for security is usability and the worse the usability gets the more people fight back against it.
