You could say that Rusts great dependency management is both a blessing and a problem at the same time. C programmers, often motivated by resource constraints, are much less likely to use third party dependencies - not just to save resources but also because it is just much harder to do it and to do it well. They end up just rewriting the parts they need themselves. Because those parts are likely a small subset of a full-featured library, binary size and compile times are smaller at the expense of actual time spent writing code.
