It's way worse than that, because this behavior is recursive.

I'm still wary from the time I tried to make a proof of concept with vue and a graph viewer, made an npm project with 5 dependencies and 2 development dependencies, and discovered I have just pulled 1400 indirect dependencies.

Any kind of dependency management on a project like this will fail. It simply can not be done.
