That's a huge benefit of Cargo, and also of npm. Like a lot of C++ things there's a big theme of "can we have X? we have X at home. X at home: o_O"

The amount of packages don't matter, as long as the key ones are available, and they are there on both. No need to compete against npm.

They also have an advantage over cargo, specially Conan, binary repos, no need to recompile the world for 3rd party dependencies after each git clone.
