Remove unnecessary transient dependencies

[Arlodotexe]

Problem

This library has too many transient dependencies that it doesn't need to function. This can bloat the binary size of the end user's application, cause unforseen issues between incompatible packages, and could open the end user to security vulnerabilities if not actively updated.

Solution

Remove as many transient dependencies as possible, even if we have to PR into the libraries we depend on.
