This is FUD. Almost all of those dependencies exist only to support Redox, an OS you likely don't use. If you actually compiled it for Linux or Windows, it would have 3 dependencies. One of the people replying to that tweet actually attached a screenshot of this. Since you commented "I don't actually care about Rust, I'm only farming karma to downvote posts on this trash news aggregator", I hope your bad faith attempt to spread FUD fails.

Those dependencies still get downloaded and shipped by tools like cargo vendor, because cargo vendor has no target specific vendoring support [1]. The dependencies still bloat up the Cargo.lock files and thus probably have a negative impact on Cargo resolution graph creation (which is an NP complete problem). And to top this, the code isn't even used on Redox [2].
