Don't they?

I just went to crates.io and picked a random newly updated crate, which happened to be pixelfix, which fixes transparent pixels in pngs.

It has six dependencies and hundreds of transient dependencies, may of which appear to be small and highly specific a la left-pad.

Maybe this package isn't representative, but it feels pretty identical to the JS ecosystem.

It depends on `image` which in turn depends on a number of crates to handle different file types. If you disable all `image` features, it only has like 5 dependencies left.

And all those 5 remaining dependencies have lots of dependencies of their own. What's your point?
