Dependencies are great for solving problems you are not willing or capable of solving. They are great when you need them, but most software includes dependencies that aren't needed or even directly requested. That is bloat. For example the Angular JS framework requests nearly 1100 NPM dependencies. That is a tremendous amount of code for an insignificant value add.
