In the grand scheme of things, dependencies are the plague of everything that's not compiled down to executable code, be it Java, Kotlin, C#, Python or JavaScript (*cough*node*cough*). Keep dependencies fine-grained, developers will complain there's too many of them; lump dependencies together, developers will complain about bloat. This used to be minor annoyance, but in the age of the smartphone and the microservices, it starts to weigh against these languages. (Don't get me wrong, they're all still viable, just a tad harder to sell in said contexts.)
