It depends on `image` which in turn depends on a number of crates to handle different file types. If you disable all `image` features, it only has like 5 dependencies left.

And all those 5 remaining dependencies have lots of dependencies of their own. What's your point?

Mostly well-known crates like rayon, crossbeam, tracing, etc.
You cannot defend Rust if this is reality.
Any Rust project I have ever compiled pulled in over 1000 dependencies. Recently it was Zed with its >2000 dependencies.
