How many packages is too many packages? (programming.dev)

I have about 3000+ packages installed in my system (nix-system) right now. As I search for neofetch on the internet, it seems people only have about <500 packages. Am I doing something wrong?

My immediate thought when I saw somebody confused by how they got so many packages was "did they install node?"
