Bloat and the failure to remove broken/bad legacy code have nothing to do with monorepos.
"Hey, what does this server do?"
"No idea; it hasn't been touched in years. What's deployed to it?"
"Some 'foobar-ng' thing, never heard of that. Says it was last updated 5 years ago. Pull up our source repo for that package, will you?"
"Hang on, we've got like 30 services with names containing 'foobar', let me find that one . . . oh god. You don't wanna know."
"Fuck it, I'm just gonna shut this server down and remove that ancient, dead, busted package."
"The main billing system just broke! What did you do?!"
