Are you including transient dependencies in that count?

Yes 20 total dependencies including transients. If a lib has many subdependencies I take this as a red flag and try to avoid it.

React has no dependencies: https://www.npmjs.com/package/react?activeTab=dependencies https://github.com/react/react/blob/main/package.json

If you read the first comment on your link, you'd see why you're wrong:

> That's not _React_, that's `create-react-app`
