But changing frameworks is not why node_modules is so large. You don’t import Angular and Vue.
I agree. Rather each one of those is rather substantial on its own. Plus the churn of going from framework to framework makes it less useful to compress and bundle all this stuff into fixed versions on a slower schedule (e.g. like Ubuntu packages do). I think that all contributes to bloat.
