Why dashjs is declaring devDeps as deps and useless files in npm package?

[Mister-Hope]

I am VERY curious that how dashjs "needs jsdoc" at runtime, can anyone explain that?

By installing dashjs, I introduced hundreds of useless deps in my project, but all I need is just the main file. 100+ more packages like jsdocs even appears in the latest 4.7.3. I don't want my node_modules be a trash bin.

Also, why should the final docs be placed in dashjs package:

Are you expecting someone to serve your docs by using dashjs packages?

Your guys are even not including source files into the package, but choose to package docs/jsdocs and even a "githook.js":

Don't you think that it's a little bit ridiculous?😅 Don't tell me you are expecting user to reuse the file to proceed npm run lint

Will this be effective in reducing the bundle size sent to client?

Library	Size	CDN
Dash.js	0.75MB	http://cdn.dashjs.org/latest/dash.all.min.js
ShakaPlayer [dash + hls]	0.53MB	https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/shaka-player/dist/shaka-player.compiled.min.js
HLS.js	0.39MB	https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/hls.js

How is ShakaPlayer lighter than dash.js while implementing both dash & hls?

Addressed in #4469.

The bundle size is not reduced by that.
