How is it we've made it this far and we still don't have any kind of independent auditing of basic publish security on NPM? You'd think this would be collectively a trivial and high priority task (to ensure that all publishes for packages over a certain download volume are going through a session that authenticated via MFA, for instance).

Because all mainstream packages are published via CI/CD pipeline not by an MFA'd individual uploading a GZIP to npm.com
