I feel like the scoring of the vulnerabilities is the issue here. If the 50 ReDoS and Prototype Pollution vulnerabilities in Webpack (or other developer tool that only ever touches my code and my configs) were scored low severity, I would probably happily ignore them. But they keep popping up with High or Critical severities, with claimed "Network" attack vectors, which nobody can possibly imagine..

Some of them show up as severity 9.8/10 in GitHub vulnerability alerts and then you try to find out more details about them and it turns out it's actually non-exploitable (example here: https://github.com/webpack/loader-utils/issues/212#issuecomm... )
