Some of us like to understand what's happening in the software we work on, and don't appreciate unnecessary complexity or unknown paths in the codebase that come through third party transitive dependencies.
Some of us have licensing restrictions we have to adhere to.

Hard learned lessons through years of dealing with this kind of thing: good software projects try to minimize the size of their impact crater.
