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.
