The only thing I install globally is yarn. It just helps make things more reproducible to install everything locally (except yarn because we don't use npm directly).

Haven't looked deeper in it, but why does it happen all the time that people think they can fix complexity by adding another layer of complexity too it?

Perhaps because David J. Wheeler said "We can solve any problem by introducing an extra level of indirection."
