'Why does "npm start" work without "run", but no other script does? [duplicate]

In my package.json file, there is the "scripts" section with my "start" script. When I type npm start it runs the "start" script. But for any other script, you have to run it by doing npm run [script-name].

This makes me have 2 questions:

  1. Why does the "start" script work without doing npm run start, but no other scripts work without "run"?
  2. Is there any way to make other scripts run without doing npm run [script-name]?
    • With NPM, the answer is no.
      But if you look at the comment, it is said that you can use yarn to do this.
node.jsnpmnpm-scriptsnpm-start

That's by convention. No, you cannot run other scripts without run.
