Totally. I think that if you can build your dependency graph properly you don't need to package the standard library.

The standard library exists partly because packaging was hard, so it's easier to ship a bunch of stuff. But nowadays it could simply be "core libs" that get pulled in on use.

Packaging is only part of the whole equation.

Quality, available documentation, guaratee of supporting every OS targeted by the language toolchain, and future updates in sync with the language version also matter.
