"Ship" and "require in the most minimal application-only install case"
are different. And "eh, it's not that large" is the approach that's
lead us to having a collective minimal set that is undeniably unwieldy.
If, instead, every package at the base level would take modularity as a
baseline principle, we'd be in a lot better and more flexible state.

In some cases, yes. In others, it's deps that don't seem individually
heavy but they add up.
