Unbundling would be nicer, but if you don't need to download the
internet as part of the build or on first start to fetch all the
dependencies (i.e. if you can properly package it with available
sources + node), then you may forgo that for now.  That's a big if
however, one that rarely holds in JS ecosystems.

Selling your data to Microsoft should be less popular, then.
