Why Does 'Is-Number' Package Have 59M Weekly Downloads?
tailwindcss -> chokidar -> braces -> fill-range -> to-regex-range -> is-number
is-number was first published 9 years ago, when these kind of micro-packages were in vogue. braces was added as a dependency to chokidar over 6 years ago [1]. And if it ain't broke, don't fix it. I don't think the average JS dev today is going out and pulling in these deps.

How nodemon works?
The watching magic is really in the https://www.npmjs.com/package/chokidar library

Dart 3.1 and a retrospective on functional style programming in Dart
> It’s typical to listen to this stream of events and use chained if-else statements to determine an action based on the type of the events that occur.
You'd think something like directory watching would have a clear set of events that would make nice objects with consistent meanings, but in my experience file watching gets crazy complicated, and can have all sorts of edge cases.
Just take a looked here for all the various edge cases that crop up: https://github.com/paulmillr/chokidar/issues
Then you have linux, windows, macos, and maybe you want to abstract over some underlying implementation like chokidar vs fb/watchman vs webpack/watchpack. Every new OS release could also cause things to change.
So usually its going to be a bunch of if-else statements hacked together to get around edge cases, and have to be revisited later on.
Any attempt to abstract this into objects, just obfuscates things. And OO forces you to name things, when in fact they might be un-nameable. `FileSystemModifyEventExceptWhenXAndYAndSometimesZ`.
The behavior might rely on a series of events together, so the object hierarchy must be re-worked.
OO has this rosy idea that we just have to come up with the perfect hierarchy, but things change in unexpected ways, and everything must have a descriptive noun.

How does nodemon works under the hood?
As another has mentioned, nodemon uses chokidar under the hood for the actual file watching part.

Turbowatch – Extremely fast alternative to Nodemon
At the end of the day, ironically, Nodemon does not even implement file watching functionality. It is a thin wrapper around chokidar (see source code), and the way it is being used is neither efficient (CPU and your battery usage) or performant. So it is not a false argument, just perhaps not the most appealing.
