That's pretty much my point -- my batteries aren't your batteries. If you're building houses, kitchen sinks are your parts. I'm high up on the abstraction stack so I need SLAM, and Kalman filters, advanced logging, mesh pub/sub networking in my stdlib. Here's another example of one of my "batteries" that is perhaps a little more concise: https://www.mathworks.com/products/image-processing.html
Something like OpenCV in the language stdlib is my idea of "batteries included". Like I said: what you consider batteries are not what people in my line of work consider batteries; Odin advertises "batteries included" but looking through the list I wouldn't use any of that in my day to day.
That's why Rust has a small stdlib of just the essentials, because doing so keeps things general, and everyone gets to choose their own idea of batteries.
