Quality matters more than quantity.
I rather have one package that does it right, than 20 doing a different set of 80% from what is needed.

As just one example: there are no OCaml or Haskell packages for natively reading or writing parquet files. There are at least 2 such packages for Rust.
Likewise, despite crates.io, Rust is missing lots of stuff I miss from Java, C# and C++.
Plenty of stuff isn't there yet.
