> perl and lua aren't necessary to run nginx core But that's the crux of my argument, most of the time I don't just want the core, I want to be able to do almost everything and I'm willing to pay the binary price to have an "apt install nginx-everything" available. Users with limited system resources could always "apt install nginx-minimal". (If you can show me a distro that includes all the modules for nginx, caddy, postfix, certbot, etc. by default, I'll switch in a heartbeat!)
