> which at a conservative estimate gets us to 1M lines of code in the imported packages. This is roughly the size of an entire operating system.

Operating Systems are way bigger than 1M lines of code. Even in the link he gives, the smallest "OS" is 2.4 million lines, and that's actually the Linux kernel from 2001. The true smallest OS is Windows NT in that link, at 5 million lines of code iirc.

Don't make false comparisons. An operating system hasn't been anywhere near 1M lines of code for almost 30 years. They are now over 500M lines of code! The kernels alone are way larger than 1M lines of code. If you're going to make a comparison, use a real comparison instead of making stuff up and then providing a link that immediately disproves yourself.
