Many projects aren't pure library deps. If you need to fork a CLI tool for instance it tends to be a lot more involved. Even pure library deps can be a pain depending on the version manager you're using. Also, I often need to use a temporary fork even if I'll get it merged later, because the fix blocks something I'm currently working on. Forking, when there is good tooling, is really nice. I wish tooling and practices were more mature. It's often a lot more hassle than ideal.
