I think this is rather hostile. There is moderation from not using dependencies or from using too many dependencies. I don't think GP is advocating for no dependencies, either. Even vendoring and pinning dependencies provides benefits.

I think it's the perfect amount of hostility. People shouldn't complain about things given to them for free built by amateurs in their spare time. Including fewer dependencies adds more time to developer's effort. Including packages into std requires more work from the Rust team (mostly volunteers). If top comment isn't satisfied with the stuff given to them for free, they can make their own software.
