The point is, that in a moderately complex Java project that might be something on the order of 150-200 dependencies, and updating just one of those usually doesn't lead to a big change in the transitive dependencies (it is a different thing for a major update, Java 8 -> 11, or from the pre jakarta JEE to jakarta), but its possible for a single person to track whats happened. But with 1500+ dependencies, so an order of magnitude bigger, its just not possible.
