[DOCS] `npm init <package-spec>` is not same as `npx <package-spec>`.

Description of Problem

The npm-init documentation says npm init <package-spec> is the same as npx <package-spec>:

npm init <package-spec> (same as npx <package-spec>)

Is that correct?

If it is correct, why aren't the following two commands equivalent?

npm init docusaurus # works as expected
npx docusaurus      # error: could not determine executable to run
