Why don't I need to install JS before installing npm?

Why don't I need to install Javascript before being able to install + use npm, just like I need to install Java before being able to install/use Maven?

Installing Nodejs is the equivalent because Nodejs includes the V8 Engine under the hood, which reads and interprets the js code you write. Maven only handles dependencies.

You have terminology mixed up. NodeJS isn't a package manager or build tool. It's a runtime for JavaScript. If you want to compare NodeJS to a Java equivalent, compare it to the JRE or JDK, not to Maven.
