How is a convenience feature a dependency? The same command exists as "gitlab:username/repo" variant. The GH variant just happens to be the unprefixed one as it has by far the biggest userbase.

Perhaps dependency was the wrong term, but my point is what you said - they've built it in as a convenience feature precisely because it's such a common usecase - a better way to say it might be they're inseparably linked tools / tightly coupled even on the technical level.
