What does npm mean by ‘Skipping failed optional dependency’?

This is not an error. It is a warning that fseventsd, which is Mac OS specific, cannot be installed on Linux.

There is no need to be alarmed, and the package that needs fsevents will still work – that’s why it’s an optional dependency.

Since many people are confused about this (particularly since this used to be a real error, not a warning) there’s an open bug to make the current warning into an INFO instead

Additionally yarn already does this.
