Absolutely. What I find funny is that the inverse is kinda true, too. Tiny dependencies (as seen in the Javascript world) are also to blame. They’re so small, I’ve noticed some devs say “well it’s so small, what’s the harm of one more?”. Bloat by a thousand deps.

On the other hand, reinventing the wheel isn’t really great, either.
Part of the reason for bloat is the fact that frameworks and libraries became huge, a basic Spring Boot webserver is already gigantic.
