I agree with this but the problem is that a lot of the extra stuff dependencies do is indeed to protect from security issues.
If you’re gonna reimplement only thr code you need from a dependency, it’s hard to know of the stuff you’re leaving out how much is just extra stuff you don’t need and how much might be security fixes that may not be apparent to you but the dependency by virtue of being worked upon and used by many people has fixed.
