Agreed, but that's not really relevant to the GP, who was comparing Java deployment ease vs. other platforms. NPM hell doesn't make deployment hard (quite the contrary); it makes security and stability/maintenance hard.
Server-Side/Desktop JavaScript, I think, has a much better/more polished deployment experience than Java...at the cost of having a much worse build (ES module hell, bundler hell...) and maintenance (dependency hell, security hell, constantly changing APIs hell...) experience than Java, which excels at both of those.
