And Rich Harris (Svelte) said, it's an issue for people in his position, aka, people making tools for developers - he fully expects and respects that the end users (developers using those tools) don't really experience the downsides.
That said, I feel like we're seeing a lot of versions of complaints about how big the stacks are getting, how big the foundation is that we "need" just to get started. That desire for minimalism is core to the developer mentality imo, it makes us good at our jobs. I think we're going to see more paring down and culling in the coming months/years.
