That's everything on Unix-likes with shared libraries, yes. You can statically-link or use a system like Nix or Guix that don't enforce a single library version (by ditching the "default library search path" concept), and you get the best of both worlds: space saved for most of your shared library dependencies, and separate versions for those binaries that need them. It's basically Unix with a garbage collector.
