That's not really a problem.

Composer makes dependencies flat , and PHP isn't module based,but namespace and class based.

Which makes libraries way more stable,unlike the nodejs galaxy of packages for instance.

And by the way,most of the packages listed aren't routers.

If you only search the word "router",you'll get only 21 pages,roughly 300 packages.

now go on npm.org and type in router you'll get more than 1600 packages.

Where do you think the problem is ? is nodejs a module based language with dependency trees , or PHP , class and namespace based language with flat dependencies?
