While that's somewhat true, OCaml is still a somewhat "small" language when compared to lots of other functional languages (Haskell, Scala, and even F# to an extent). At the very least, it has an agreed upon subset of the language to use in everyday code (which most languages of similar size or larger lack), which makes almost any code you find on GitHub or wherever perfectly readable.
On the other hand, the standard libraries (or lack thereof, considering there's no wholly agreed upon standard library to use) can feel at times vast and complex since every standard library alternative has its own subtleties that can make it difficult to go back and forth between all these alternatives.
