In my experience the dependency graph often has many more nodes as well. I'm not sure if this is because Haskell code is especially reusable or Haskell developers are especially lazy.

There is an ambient culture of code reuse at a level I don't see elsewhere, that's one of Haskell's strength's in my opinion. Though it does make certain packaging problems more difficult.
High levels of abstraction and well defined edges mean more opportunities for reuse, which probably contributes to both.
