Let it explode

Yes, that's (potentially) easier and for some languages that may be unavoidable. Disk space and computer power is cheap - for the cost of extra compilation and building, meh, who cares? It isn't necessarily a cure-all, however, and not everybody has large scale build farms or infinite disk space.

This also becomes much more difficult when there is a security problem / a severe bug and you need to know *exactly
how many library copies you have / where they all are. That's also the reason for some folk to dislike snaps, Flatpak and similar - it's software bloat to some extent and each flatpak is essentially an unknown black box.

For other languages or on the scale of a large project like Debian, the amount of extra archive space would become problematic. There's also no possibility of deduplication. That's one of the reasons why distributions try to de-vendor ... and that takes us round to a whole other part of this series of threads.
