I think that although there are rational tradeoffs in bringing in too many dependencies, a lot of these arguments are just rationalizing a personal preference and a tendency of engineers to want to build more and more. Is managing your software supply chain more work than writing it yourself? Probably not if there are thousands or millions of LOC involved. But if you have infinite money, go ahead and build everything from scratch..
