We should reconsider the use of the term "dependency hell", especially if people just use it as a synonym for "large number of dependencies" because a lot of languages with small numbers of dependencies have small numbers because the cost of starting a new dependency is high due to bad tooling and as a result each dependency is huge and contains a lot of code any given user of that dependency does not use and that nobody has touched for years.
This is just a worse way to structure the same amount of dependency code because we can't easily talk about individual parts of the code in dependencies.
