When a platform has good support and is easy to onboard this is the inevitable result. It's just like the JavaScript ecosystem.

But this is not a downside. Just like I can start a new website project and not use a single dependency, I can start a new rust project and not install a single dependency.

To me the real value is in the tools and core language feature. I could probably implement my own minimal ad-hoc async IO framework if I wanted to, and shape it to my needs. No dependencies.
