Cargo.lock is the wrong place to be looking, there really are only 7 direct dependencies, https://github.com/mgunyho/tere/blob/master/Cargo.toml#L14-L...

The deps for each of these packages is really out of the authors hands, this is really the same for any programming language though which need to pull in dependencies of their own.

That's true, but OP did ask a question "How come...". Your answer is that the Rust ecosystem is to blame for encouraging micro-dependencies, like Node.js, and not the author. I think that's a pretty reasonable take! But it doesn't mean that there's not a problem.

Code reuse was once considered a virtue.

Agree. That's why I will never re-write function is-Thirteen() when a battle-tested reusable package exists in NPM exactly for this.
