You are talking about your own thing. Everyone else is talking about the number of files, not the distribution and update mechanism.
The packaging system could support single file and still be able to track versions and upgrades. The JVM ecosystem is effectively single file for many deps esp now that jars can contain jars.

C), but even then it's nothing compared to the dystopian level of nightmare fuel that is a lot of dependency systems (eg. Maven, Gradle, PIP). Free vendoring is a nice plus as well." How is that not talking about PIP?
