are there non-portable npm modules? or can something be done about them?

Hi Aaron, I’ve been hoping someone with more module / Apify experience would answer, but since no one has, I guess I will make an attempt:

Yes, that’s correct. Apify can only be used with node on your computer or a server; there’s no way to run it in the browser. While some node packages can be bundled to run in the browser using tools like browserify, webpack and rollup, this is not feasible for Apify, which has to be able to launch and control instances of headless Chrome.
