No one is forcing you to use a dependency. Write the code yourself just like you would in another language. Or vendor the dependency and re-write/delete/whatever the code you don't like.
Sorry but down here in Earth, not having unlimited resources and time does force us to use dependencies if you want to get things done.
The line has to be drawn somewhere. And that line is much more reasonable when you can trust large trillion dollar backed standard libraries from the likes Go or .NET, in contrast to a fragmented ecosystem from other languages.
What good is vendoring 4 million lines of code if I have to review them anyway at least once? I'd rather have a strong MSFT/GOOGL standard library which I can rely upon and not have to audit, thank you very much.
