title: Why does "npm install react" install version 16 when latest version is 17?
body: <p>If I run the command :</p>
  <blockquote>
  <p>npm install react</p>
  </blockquote>
  <p>I would expect it to install <a href="https://tsh.io/blog/react-latest-version/#:%7E:text=React%2017%20is%20still%20the,lot%20more%20about%20React%2018." rel="nofollow noreferrer">react 17</a> because apparantly version 17 is the latest version.</p>
  <p>However after I run the comment, I see this in my <strong>package.json</strong> file</p>
  <blockquote>
  <p>&quot;react&quot;: &quot;^16.14.0&quot;,</p>
  </blockquote>
  <p>Am I missing something?</p>
