This argument is also a holdover from a time where supply chain attacks weren't considered a serious threat.

Exactly. The single biggest hurdle for me using some open source tools written with newer languages is the ridiculous dependency surface due to a preference for package repositories over curated “batteries included” bundled libraries. I work in an environment that is hyper sensitive to supply chain integrity, which means a lot of languages that have a culture of “use all the third party packages” are out for us.
Give me a batteries included standard library please - much easier to audit and track.
