Doubling down, there's just huge conceit that small modules are bad. And no evidence. People just love to hate. Dark side is easy & convenient & in reach, and one gains social clout, feels elite, by shitting on others. Boo to you. It's not easy, it's not tame, but it's unclear what negativity beyond mild inconvenience has been generated. And much of the harm can be diffused with more sensible protection, not simply giving all modules access to everything. Systems like WASI are finally engineering inbuilt protection to sensibly de-risk imports; this is a fault of runtimes for not offering us protection, not our burgeoning package ecosystems for having value, growing. It's still unclear what the worthwhile protests are.
