Now, you're bending it the other way:)

Do note, that we're comparing `lambda', which was part of core Emacs
forever and ships with each Emacs,
to a library concieved 2 years ago, and to use which, the other
package writers have
to go out of their way (I, for one, try not to depend on third party
packages unless I have to).

So yes, it's 6834 vs 200, but consider the circumstances.
