usually scripts have versions, this protects you from compromised cdns as well where you publish assets in a different location compared to where your frontend is served.

If a library serves a script and your site manages user funds you should probably avoid using it or use a cdn that does.

I am not quite sure, but there's also other integrity mechanisms that gurantee that a file was signed by the library developer via a served header with the signature of the file.
