Money dictates personal philosophies.

Rust and Node have too many deps because you can't make a Patreon or Github Sponsors page for contributions to stdlib.

Go is batteries-included because it was made by Google by people with a salary.

The people writing "thousands of small packages are good" are the people making money from the clout of having made thousands of small packages.

Started famously as batteries-included, until people started realizing there's money in dependencies.

I'm not a lot into Python, though. I still write a lot of it, but I don't really read or participate in its community.
