Yeah we don't get NuGet packages that only offer a single function...

Much better to have a bunch of one-function packages that you can simply avoid than to have a dead package registry with 1/10 of the useful stuff (so not the one-function packages).

With the difference that in 10 years those packages will still have support, just like VB 6 runtime and MFC are still shipping on Windows 11.
