I agree, but it is the natural progression.
I saw this in the COMPONENT based world. VB had DLL hell.
In Delphi, I LOVED how loading my components was so easy, and integrated into the IDE.
20 years later, we have removed 90% of the components we used to have. We only buy ones with source.
And we are VERY VERY picky about adding new ones.

Because, you can't just upgrade your IDE, it breaks a lot. Then you have old projects that are suddenly compiled with a new compiler and components. And suddenly various components are using different Zip libraries that have to load... And it starts all over again.

And frameworks make it worse. We end up not updating the frameworks because of the amazing level of risks. And potentially in EVERY PROJECT, not just the one you are working on now, but an older one you have not touched in a while. (One of the key arguments FOR Testing based development, and ANOTHER argument for a project controlling what loads in the IDE).. Oh, it is so complicated. All of these tradeoffs...
