Tex isn't really the best example for the insane package numbers (since the main Tex system, CTAN, actually does define them as separate packages). It would be interesting to know if anyone actually does just install one or two rather than all... I know that I usually just install all of them on new systems.

Can you please explain what you mean? What are the alternatives if
there really are over 5000 packages in CTAN?
Arch Linux has packaged bundles like texlive-science or texlive-music,
but these seem less usable as individual packages can't be installed.
Moreover, it might be difficult to find which of the bundles includes
the one specific package you need.
Kind regards,
