People on Reddit have call bin utils and core utils bloated? I sort of assumed we all just took those for granted as rock solid and the reason that we can have a free Unix operating system. Huh. Maybe I'm wrong though. What subreddits are saying this? Again, genuine question, I think I must be getting old!
I'm not on Reddit these days, and haven't been in a year or so maybe, so couldn't show you anything more than what you could find with a quick search on maybe r/linux or similar heavily populated subreddits related to these things.
The point being made in the comment linked to, briefly, is how non-SW engineers "turn their nose up at open-source solutions". It's a bit broader than what I was saying, but was roughly the kind of trend I was trying to allude to.
