Rust is also unlikely to break because of dependency version changes caused by the thirty-seventh party. Despite similarly large dependency trees, the Rust ecosystem takes backwards compatibility much more seriously than e.g. the JavaScript ecosystem.

Well, I should hope so. Nevertheless every dependency removed completely removes even the possibility of such breakage.

I mean sure, but it means you have to maintain that functionality yourself. Often DIY implementations are not as robust as the versions in battle tested libraries with lots of eyes. So you can easily end up with more problems overall.
