Can't put the blame of one bad package on the whole community. If there is a bad package don't use it. I've seen lots of well engineered packages with zero dependencies. E.g typescript. Entire compiler and language server. No dependencies. Es6 is a decent library out of the box. I always only add a dependent if it's something not trivial. A lot of the shitty packages came out before tree shaking was a thing. There is an argument. Should you just have a large hash table of functions that you reference. Those in the bandwagon go for the one function packages.
