Multiply this by the thousands of dependencies modern apps have and the only thing you will ever do is rewrites.

Most applications (even large ones) do not have thousands of direct dependencies.

Good point. It's even better when a dependency multiple levels down gets a breaking change and the direct one is unmaintained.

Who keeps unmaintained, direct dependencies in their projects? Seems like basic hygiene to replace them.
