That's pretty normal for a package, and we aren't even close to the
point where this would matter:
It is by design that stretch ships 2016 versions of packages and
buster ships 2018 versions of packages.
But stretch and buster shipping a 2013 version of a package with more
recent versions means that even the version in stretch is 3 years
older than it could be.

The main user of the version currently in buster/unstable are reverse
dependencies inside Debian. And some are already blocked by the outdated
version.
closure-compiler-installer would force such packages out of main.
